He said policemen had intercepted a tricycle conveying one passenger suspiciously parked in front of the residence of an Indian national.
On sighting the police, the tricycle rider Alhaji Musa, 45, of Tudun Rubudi Quarters Kano attempted to escape, but the team shot at the tyre of the tricycle.
The rider and one Onyekachi Jude, 19, of Rinji Quarters Kano, were subsequently arrested.
