Nigerian Tailor Arrested After Alleged Murder in Niger
Masaudu Saidu, a Nigerian tailor, was arrested by the Police Command after allegedly stabbing his business partner, Masaudu Sani, to death in the Niger Republic. The incident occurred on Nigerien soil, where Saidu used a knife to kill the 38-year-old Sani.
After the killing, Saidu fled back to Nigeria to evade justice. The police spokesman, SP Bashir Usman, confirmed the arrest in a statement released on September 25, 2026.
Following the murder, authorities in Niger Republic declared Saidu a wanted criminal and initiated a search that ultimately led to his capture in Gulma Town, located in the Argungu Local Government Area of Kebbi State. The Kebbi Command used this arrest to urge Nigerian nationals abroad to act responsibly and avoid actions that could tarnish Nigeria's international reputation, emphasizing that no suspect is beyond the reach of the law, regardless of how long they remain in hiding.
