17 year Old allegedly Died in Police Custody in Kano
Protest is currently rocking the ancient city of Kano, following the death of 17- year old Saufullahi, who died in police custody this morning.
Saifullahi of Kofar Mata Quarters was arrested 2 days ago by the police, while he was sleeping at the premises of his family house, despite protests by people of the community that he was never known for any criminal tendencies.
Sahelian Times reliably gathered that Saifullahi had been released on bail only for the police to yesterday re-arrest and detain him again, where he was allegedly tortured to death.
The police brought his corpse to the family house this morning, a development which angered the people to take to the street and start making bonfires in protests.
It took the intervention of the elders in the community to ensure that the protest did not degenerate into uncontrollable violence.
“We have already taken his body and lodged at the Shahuci Area Command and a delegation is on the way to the Police Command,” a resident told Sahelian Times.
Another resident, who expressed a shock at Saifullahi’s tragic death, described him as “a very nice young man”, who had no known record of any criminality.
ENDSARS Protests: Defence Minister Cautions Protesters Against Undermining National Security
“The people are angry. We have hoodlums here. No one would have reacted this way if it happened to any one of them. But Saifullahi was not one of them, “ he stressed.
The Federal Government is currently facing widespread protests over police brutality under different hashtags, like: EndSARS, EndSWAT EndPoliceBrutality and others, attracting the attention of the international community.
Although the campaign has not been observed in the streets of the commercial nerve centre of the northern part of the country, the sudden death of Saifullahi at the hands of the Kano police is going to bring to the fore the widespread concern

Biafran Rebels Kill Cameronian Soldiers In Bakassi
Five members of Cameroon’s Rapid d’Intervention Battalions (BIR) were reportedly killed Friday morning, March 14, 2025, in the Bakassi Peninsula during an attack by Biafra separatist groups.
Sources close to the groups revealed that the assault was carried out by the Black Marine, the largest faction and the Dragon Fighter Marine afiliated with the Biafra Nations League (BnL).
“At around 6:00 am on Thursday, the group launched explosives, hitting their targets and neutralizing two warships,” the sources claimed.
This marks a violent resurgence months after the arrest of Simon Ekpa, with insiders citing lack of funds as a reason for the group’s previous inactivity.
Reacting to the attack, a source said, “The warships have been withdrawn. The situation is tense, and our men are fully back in action.”
BnL leader, Princewill Chimezie Richards said, “Biafra has come to stay in Bakassi not even Cameroon can stop us.”
