A brazen car thief reportedly broke into the Kano State Government House in the early hours of Monday, making off with a Toyota Hilux van from the Deputy Governor’s convoy
According to Daily Nigerian , the incident occurred around 5 a.m. when the suspect gained entry through Gate 4 and later drove the vehicle out through the main gate.
CCTV footage from the Government House reportedly captured the thief’s movements, showing him calmly driving the Hilux away without being stopped.
A source within the complex told the online newspaper, “The vehicle was part of the deputy governor’s convoy,” noting that security around the Deputy Governor’s office is typically heightened only during working hours or when the deputy governor is present.
