A Nigeria Security and Civil Defence Corps (NSCDC) officer was killed on Friday during the distribution of Ramadan and Sallah palliatives in Tudun Wada Local Government Area of Kano State.
The distribution programme was organised by the member representing Doguwa/Tudun Wada constituency in the House of Representatives, Alhassan Ado Doguwa.
In a statement, Doguwa alleged that hoodlums attempted to disrupt the exercise, leading to the tragic death of the officer.
“I was informed that some hoodlums attempted to cause disorder during the distribution, an incident that resulted in the death of a security officer of the Civil Defence Corps,” he said.
The lawmaker expressed shock and condolences, adding, “I extend my heartfelt condolences to the Civil Defence Corps, the family of the deceased, and the entire people of Tudun Wada Local Government Area. May Allah have mercy on him and forgive him. Ameen.”
Doguwa called on security agencies to investigate the incident and bring the perpetrators to justice. He also urged the public to desist from spreading false claims linking him directly to the attack.
The lawmaker described the incident as a tragic loss and prayed for divine mercy on the slain officer.
