A security analyst, Abdullahi Bakoji Adamu, has warned that family relationships and familiarity do not automatically guarantee safety, following the killing of seven family members in Kano State. Speaking in a security advisory titled Family Threat Awareness, Adamu stressed that serious threats often come from within trusted circles.
He noted that one of the prime suspects in police custody is a 23-year-old nephew of the victims, underscoring research findings that many violent crimes are committed by people known to their victims. According to him, security risks should be assessed by behaviour, not blood ties.
Adamu listed warning signs such as sudden anger, aggression, withdrawal, hostile comments and verbal threats, urging families to treat them seriously. He added that individuals with a history of violence, abuse or substance misuse pose higher risks.
The analyst advised families to limit access to sensitive security information and report escalating threats promptly, stressing that reporting dangers is prevention, not betrayal.
