Residents of Yakasai Quarters in Kano Municipal Local Government Area were struck with fear early Friday morning following an invasion by suspected armed robbers who engaged in a violent altercation. Witnesses reported that the intruders entered the home late Thursday and proceeded to assault the occupants, steal mobile phones, and physically attack several individuals. A local resident, Naseer Abdussamad, expressed concern that after initially fleeing, the attackers returned to recover a captured accomplice. On this return visit, a group of local youths banded together to confront the robbers, resulting in the shooting of three of the youths. “Regrettably, the home they targeted became a battleground.” They mistreated the women, took away phones, and harmed several men. One of the thieves was apprehended, but when his crew came back to save him, the situation intensified. “According to Abdussamad, the youths fought back, which resulted in the robbers shooting three individuals. He praised the courage of the youths from the Yakasai community for their quick response in protecting their area, expressing thanks to God and praying for the safety of all residents. Another local, Salisu A. Kankarofi, emphasized the critical importance of neighborhood security partnerships among the residents of Yarmagaji, Dogarai, Kankarofi, Mahauta, Jalli, and Yakasai. He advocated for the installation of gates at key access points to help prevent future occurrences. As of the time this report was prepared, the police had not released an official statement regarding the incident, and it is still uncertain if any arrests have been made. The injured individuals have been taken to the hospital for medical care.”} embros.district,json 35893031,sp,{
