A suspected car thief has reportedly broken into the Kano State Government House and stolen a Toyota Hilux vehicle belonging to the convoy of the Deputy Governor, Aminu Abdussalam.

The audacious theft, which occurred in the early hours of Monday, has left security officials within the Government House rattled.

According to findings, the suspect gained entry into the heavily guarded premises around 5 a.m. through Gate 4 and later drove out through the main gate without being stopped.
