A daring car thief reportedly made off with a Toyota Hilux van from the Deputy Governor’s convoy at the Kano State Government House in the early hours of Monday. According to DAILY NIGERIAN, the suspect gained entry to the premises through Gate 4 around 5 a.m. and later drove the vehicle out through the main gate. CCTV footage from the Government House reportedly captured the thief moving calmly through the compound before escaping with the Hilux. A source within the complex told the online publication, “The vehicle was part of the deputy governor’s convoy,” noting that security around the Deputy Governor’s office is usually heightened only during official working hours or when the deputy governor is present. The driver of the van, identified as Shafiu Sharp-Sharp, was briefly detained and interrogated as part of the ongoing investigation. “An investigation has been launched. The driver is being questioned, while the Chief Security Officer (CSO) is reviewing the CCTV footage,” the source added. As of the time of reporting, the Kano State Government has not released an official statement regarding the theft.
