Kano NDC Aspirant Aminu Warkal Detained for Firearm Use
Aminu Abdullahi Warkal, an aspirant for the Nigerian Democratic Congress (NDC) representing Gwale Constituency, is currently in custody of the Kano State Police Command due to an alleged unlawful display and firing of a firearm at a political rally. The police spokesperson, Abdullahi Kiyawa, confirmed that Warkal's detention follows a viral video that purportedly shows him firing a weapon, suspected to be a pump-action rifle, during the event in Unguwar Jan Bulo, Kano.
The incident occurred shortly after Warkal arrived at a gathering intended to receive campaign materials for Muhammad Hamisu UK, the NDC candidate for Gwale Federal Constituency. The police commissioner, Ibrahim Bakori, directed the invitation for Warkal's questioning after the video was discovered during routine cyber patrols.
The police indicated that if the allegations are substantiated, they could violate the Firearms Act and threaten public peace. The investigation into the matter is ongoing.
