KANO—Tragedy struck Chinese community in Kano State, weekend, when four Chinese nationals engaged in a free-for-all that claimed the life of two of them.

The incident, which occurred at a house in Kwanar Ganduje industrial zone of the municipality, was brought to the notice of the police, which intervention came too late.

Kano Police Commissioner, Alhaji Ibrahim Idris, told reporters, yesterday, that a crack police team sent to the scene found one Xusheng Kun, male, critically injured, while another, identified by his alias, Old Man, also sustained life-threatening injury.

He said that two staff of Kano-based Zhao Dongs Nigeria Limited, Jinbo Zhao Dang Dong and Smith Zhang Ze, were arrested at the scene.

The police boss explained that Xusheng Kun, male, was latter certified dead by Doctors at Murtala Muhammad Hospital, Kano, while Old Man gave up the ghost in the same hospital, Sunday.

Idris said preliminary investigation into the matter revealed that the fight was the result of “a business deal floated on trust that went sour and we also observed betrayal of trust in whole issue,” adding that the two suspects were in detention.

He said investigation was on-going “and as soon as we establish a case, we will arraign them in court.”

He noted that a Chinese short machete, one jack knife with blood stains, and some quantity of intoxicants were recovered from the scene.
