Suspected thugs (Yan Sara Suka) have k!lled a bank driver, Mohammed, popularly known as Amore, in Minna, Niger State.
Mohammed was attacked by the hoodlums in the Fadikpe area of Minna around 10:00pm on Sunday, April 20, 2025.
It was gathered that Mohammed was known for his efforts to maintain peace in the Fadikpe community, especially during clashes involving local gangs.
According to reports, the gang, which operates in several groups, followed him to his house. One of the thugs stabbed him with scissors during a struggle.
Meanwhile, the International Human Rights Commission (IHRC) has condemned the brutal k!lling of Mohammed.
In a statement on Monday, April 21, Niger State Director of IHRC, Shuaib Awaisu Wana, called on the police and other relevant security agencies to urgently investigate this heinous crime and bring the perpetrators to justice.
“It is with deep sorrow and outrage that the International Human Rights Commission (IHRC), Niger State Office, condemns in the strongest terms the brutal and senseless k!lling of Mr. Mohammed, popularly known as Amore, by suspected thugs (Yan Sara Suka) in the Fadikpe area of Minna on the night of 20th, April 2025,” the statement read.
“Mr. Mohammed, a respected resident and peace-loving member of the community, was known for his consistent efforts in supporting local peace and security initiatives. He lost his life while volunteering alongside other community members to disperse a gang of miscreants whose presence had become a serious threat to the safety and stability of the neighborhood. His tragic death is not only a loss to his immediate family but to the entire community and state.
“The IHRC extends its heartfelt condolences to the family of the deceased, friends, and the Fadikpe community. We mourn with you and pray that Almighty God grants him eternal rest and gives his family the strength to bear this painful loss.

“No community can thrive under the shadow of fear, violence, and impunity. The safety and rights of every citizen must be protected at all times. Political leaders both elected and appointed at all levels must rise up to protect the sanctity of human lives.
“The IHRC will continue to monitor the situation closely and stand in solidarity with the people of Fadikpe and the entire Minna metropolis in the fight against thuggery and all forms of insecurity.”
