    An office of the Nigeria Security and Civil Defence Corps (NSCDC) in Gwazaye, Kumbotso local government area of Kano state, has been attacked by thugs.

    The attack followed the death of a suspected phone snatcher who lost his life while trying to wrestle a phone from a resident.

    According to the Kano state NSCDC Public Relations Officer, SC Ibrahim Idris Abdullahi, the resident, upon the death of the phone snatcher, rushed to the NSCDC outpost, being the nearest security office in the area, to report.

    But, after the complainants left, the PRO said thugs struck, suspecting that the corps connived with others to kill one of them.

    However, Abdullahi said NSCDC denied involvement of any of their personnel in the saga, saying the case was only reported to them.

    He said, “On Monday 2nd June, 2025 at about 8pm, there was a phone snatch attempt by two (2) hoodlums armed with knives at Gwazaye, Kumbotso local government area. One of the armed criminals descended on an individual, a resident of the area, who was making a phone call to rob him of the handset.

    “The hoodlums approached him with one of them wrestling with the resident holding a knife to snatch the phone. According to eyewitness accounts, a member of local vigilante in the area, while the thug was attempting to snatch the phone he was overpowered by the victim (resident) and in the process the hoodlum (now late) got stabbed in the neck.

    “The victim (resident of Gwazaye) together with his three (3) neighbors shortly after the incident rushed to the civil defence Outpost at Semegu, Kumbotso local government to report the matter. It was unfortunate that criminal elements armed with dangerous weapons regrouped and attacked our office in the area mistaking those involved in the incident as our personnel.

    “For the avoidance of doubt, none of the civil defence personnel was a party to the happening. What is certain and for sure is that those involved had attempted to report a phone robbery attack in our office as security agency at Samegu but they were violently attacked together with our staff in the area. The NSCDC never maimed neither had they killed any suspected thug in the area,” the PRO clarified.

    He said the case is presently being handled by the Criminal Investigation Department of the Kano state police command.
