The Kano State Police Command says it has arrested six suspects following a clash between rival thugs that later stormed Farm Centre GSM market in Kano.
Kiyawa explained that the incident occurred after a distress call reported that suspected thugs had mobilised for a fight in Gyadi-Gyadi, a neighborhood close to the market.
He said, “Patrol teams were immediately deployed and met a violent clash in progress. An ambulance was vandalised during the disturbance, while the thugs also attempted to attack other places.
Kiyawa also said the state’s Commissioner of Police, Ibrahim Adamu Bakori, commended the officers from Farm Centre Division and the reinforcement teams, noting that their swift response prevented further breakdown of law and order.
He warned that the command would not tolerate thuggery or any disturbance of public peace, urging parents and guardians to caution their wards against involvement in criminal activities.
According to Daily Trust, a Nigerian daily newspaper, the command further disclosed that investigations are ongoing to apprehend fleeing suspects and identify sponsors of the clash.
Residents were also encouraged to continue providing timely information to the police to help safeguard lives and property across the state.
