The Kano State Police Command has confirmed two separate disturbing incidents that occurred on Sunday, July 6 — a violent disturbance near the Emir’s Palace and a suspected suicide in a different part of the state.
According to information obtained by Zagazola Makama, tensions flared around 1:00 p.m. as the convoy of His Royal Highness, Aminu Ado Bayero, moved through the Kofar Kudu area adjacent to the palace grounds.
Eyewitnesses reported that a group of miscreants, believed to have mingled with onlookers, began throwing stones toward the gate of a rival palace, causing damage and chaos. The attack resulted in the destruction of two motorcycles and shattered windshields on three police patrol vehicles stationed for crowd control.
Security agents at the scene acted quickly to quell the unrest, arresting four suspects identified as Isyaku Uba from Koki Quarters, Abubakar Haruna from Daurawa Quarters, and Umar Isah and Hamisu Uba, both residents of Kantudu-Dala Quarters.
Authorities have since restored calm in the area, while a deeper probe into the motive and those behind the orchestrated violence is underway.
In a separate and heartbreaking incident, the police also reported the case of a suspected suicide involving 25-year-old Fatima Mohammed of Haye village, Kano.
Sources say the young woman was found hanging in her matrimonial home around 12:25 p.m. on the same day. The local ward head, Mai Anguwa Hamza, alerted the Badawa Police Division, prompting immediate action.
Officers arrived at the scene and transported the body to Sir Sunusi Specialist Hospital, where medical personnel officially confirmed her death. Police have launched an investigation to determine the circumstances surrounding the tragedy.
The Kano State Command has urged the public to remain calm and report any suspicious activity to law enforcement as both incidents continue to be investigated.
