The resurgence of violent clashes between rival thugs has left Kano residents deeply concerned. A recent brawl following a football match at Sani Abacha Stadium in Kofar Mata escalated into chaos, claiming at least two lives. Hoodlums armed with dangerous weapons reportedly attacked shops in Zango Quarters and Yakasai, snatching mobile phones and vandalizing properties.
Fearing reprisal attacks, many residents now avoid leaving home after evening prayers. Even healthcare workers, like a nurse at Murtala Muhammad Specialist Hospital who was stabbed, face heightened risks.
Kano Police Commissioner Salman Dogo Garba visited the affected areas, pledging intensified efforts to combat thuggery and restore peace. Residents are calling for urgent action to prevent further violence.
