The suspects, believed to be behind two separate double murders earlier this year, were tracked down to a house in the eMhlasini area following a coordinated intelligence-driven operation.

Specialised units including SAPS eThekwini Outer North Crime Intelligence, Durban North SAPS Trio Crimes Unit, Newlands East SAPS Trio Crimes Unit, Durban Metro Police Trio Crimes Unit, and private security partner K9 Saint Security closed in on the suspects.

As officers approached, the suspects allegedly opened fire, triggering a fierce shootout.

Both men were killed during the exchange.

Police recovered two firearms at the scene, adding to growing evidence of heavily armed criminal networks operating in the province.

The latest incident signals an intensified crackdown under the leadership of Lieutenant-General Nhlanhla Mkhwanazi, with police increasingly taking the fight directly to violent offenders.

This comes just days after another dramatic takedown on the KZN South Coast, where a 41 year old suspected hitman was shot dead by police in Pinetown.

The suspect was reportedly linked to more than 10 murder cases and was believed to be hours away from executing a contract killing targeting officials from the Umdoni Local Municipality.

Police tracked him to his hideout, where he allegedly opened fire upon their arrival. Officers responded, killing him in a brief but decisive shootout.

No police officers were injured, and multiple firearms were recovered.

With back-to-back operations resulting in the deaths of high-risk suspects, authorities appear to be tightening the net on organised crime in KwaZulu-Natal, sending a strong message to those involved in violent criminal activities.

The province remains on edge as police continue their aggressive pursuit of wanted suspects.

According to the command, the incident occurred on October 25, 2025, when five armed men invaded the home of 32-year-old Stanley Abuchi in Wuntin Dada, Bauchi. When they couldn’t find him, the kidnappers abducted his girlfriend, 23-year-old Joy Stanley, and his friend, 24-year-old Adam Bala.

Acting swiftly after the report, detectives from the “B” Division, led by the Divisional Police Officer, intercepted the suspects in a red Mercedes-Benz along Gidan Mai Jos Road. One of the suspects, 32-year-old Abubakar Musa from Jos, was apprehended, and both victims were rescued unharmed.

Investigations revealed that the kidnappers had demanded a ransom of ₦400,000 from their target and had taken personal belongings worth about ₦60,000 from the victims.

Further police efforts led to the arrest of another suspect, 31-year-old Dahiru Umar from Yandoya in Jos, on October 27, 2025. Officers also recovered a handcuff believed to be part of the evidence.

The police are still searching for three more suspects identified as Ibrahim Hassan (also known as B13), Pigo, and another man named Musa.

The Commissioner of Police, Sani Omolori Aliyu, commended the swift action of the officers and directed that the case be transferred to the State Criminal Investigation Department for further investigation and prosecution.

The suspects, who worked as data entry clerks, were allegedly caught attempting to manipulate vote counts, according to the country’s police chief.

This year’s vote has brought back memories of the 2019 election, which was thrown out by the courts after widespread irregularities were uncovered, including altered results sheets. That ruling forced a historic re-run that propelled Lazarus Chakwera into the presidency.

Now, the electoral commission is under intense scrutiny. So far, early tallies suggest former president Peter Mutharika is in the lead, with Chakwera trailing in second place. However, officials have warned that no candidate should declare victory until all votes are officially verified.

Malawi’s election law requires a candidate to win more than 50% of the vote to avoid a run-off. Full results from all 36 districts are expected to be announced by Wednesday.

Meanwhile, Chakwera’s Malawi Congress Party has filed a complaint with the electoral commission, citing irregularities in the counting process. Officials have not disclosed details of the allegations.

The stakes are high in a country struggling with one of its worst economic crises in recent years. Inflation is nearing 30%, foreign currency reserves are depleted, and basic goods like fuel and food have become painfully expensive. In the capital, Lilongwe, a frozen chicken now costs around $20 — in a nation where most people survive on less than $2 a day.

At 85, Mutharika is seeking a dramatic comeback, while 70-year-old Chakwera hopes to retain power despite growing public frustration over economic hardship. Alongside the presidential race, Malawians also cast their ballots for parliamentary and local representatives.

For many voters, the outcome will not only decide the country’s next leader but also determine how Malawi confronts its deepening economic challenges.
