At a security meeting held in Kaduna on Thursday, October 16th, 2025, the mobile phone of Barrister Sule Shu’aibu (SAN), Kaduna State Commissioner for Internal Security and Home Affairs, was stolen in an audacious act that stunned attendees.
The incident occurred despite the event’s tight security measures, raising serious questions about the effectiveness and integrity of the security arrangements in place.
The suspect infiltrated the well-guarded venue and managed to take the Commissioner’s phone before escaping.
As of the latest reports, neither the phone nor the suspect has been recovered, and the identity of the thief remains unknown. This breach at a high-profile security event has prompted calls for a detailed investigation to uncover vulnerabilities and prevent similar occurrences in the future. Kaduna State authorities have yet to release an official statement on the matter.
The occurrence has highlighted the paradox of a significant security lapse in an event specifically organized to discuss security issues, sparking public concern and debates on the current state of security protocols within the state.
