The Kano State Police arrested two suspects, Aliyu Naziru Garba and Bashir Alhasan, both aged 20, for allegedly plotting to kidnap the village head of Bangare, Mallam Idris. The police reported that the suspects threatened the village head over the phone on October 24.

Following this threat, Mallam Idris reported the incident to the Gezawa Divisional Police Headquarters on October 26.
