The Kano State Police Command has launched an investigation into the Chairperson of Tudun Wada Local Government Council and Kano ALGON chair, Sa’adatu Salisu, over allegations that she led thugs to attack workers at a factory and ordered her police orderly to open fire.
The case was reported by Tasarrufi General Enterprise, whose staff alleged that on Thursday, August 28, Salisu stormed their facility with more than 200 thugs armed with weapons, leaving several workers injured.
Police spokesman Abdullahi Kiyawa confirmed that a formal complaint had been filed and that both Salisu and her orderly had been summoned.

“All the witnesses and the suspect have been invited. The orderly to the ALGON chairperson has also been recalled to the command to give account of the matter,” Kiyawa said.
Factory manager Suyudi Umar alleged that the council boss had earlier confronted him and a road project engineer, insisting that the factory be relocated despite confirmation it was not affected by the road construction.
“This is the fourth time Sa’adatu has come to my factory. I was shocked that as a leader, she could lead thugs to attack my staff. That is why I reported the matter to the police to seek justice,” Umar said.
The investigation is ongoing.
