A group, Kano Civil Society Alliance for Peaceful Politics, has condemned the rising wave of political thuggery in the state, warning that violence linked to Yan Daba groups is threatening democratic stability ahead of the 2027 general election.
Members of the groups, who converged on Bayero yesterday, listed 10 deadly attacks recorded between January and May 2026, including the killing of 10 people during clashes on a state road and the death of five people on May 5.
The group also cited the killing of a police officer in Hotoro Division and repeated clashes in Dorayi, Koki, Abattoir Market and Rimin Kebe, calling on the Kano State Government to immediately suspend all political rallies until a comprehensive security framework is put in place.
