A car thief has sneaked into Kano Government House in the wee hours of Monday and drove away with a Toyota Hilux van.
It was gathered that the car thief gained access into the Government House through Gate 4 and left with the vehicle around 5am on Monday.
Insiders said CCTV footages analysed after the theft showed that the thief drove away through the main gate of the Government House.
