A new batch of 43 thugs (Yan Daba) from two rival groups of Goburawa-Gangare and Tudun Fulani Quarters of Ungogo LGA of Kano State embraced peace and surrendered themselves to the police command in the state.

The 43 thugs bring the total number of repentant thugs in the State to 143. The repentant thugs were in the company of some elders, who are stakeholders in the community.

The Command’s spokesman, SP Abdullahi Haruna Kiyawa, in a press statement, explained that these 43 thugs (Yan Daba) from the two rival groups were previously engaged in violent rival fights (Fadan Yan Daba) for more than five years.

According to the statement, the fights often lead to attacks on innocent citizens, resulting in loss of lives, injuries to people, and damage to properties.

“They have now repented, surrendered themselves, and promised to work with the Police Command to promote sustainable peace and development of the State.”

Further, the Commissioner of Police warned criminals to stay clear of the State, as he is still promising the sum of  N500,000.00 bounty to anyone that provides the command, with information that would lead to the arrest of two notorious criminals; Abba Burakita of Dorayi Quarters, Kano or Hantar Daba of Kwanar Disu Quarters Kano.

While appreciating the state government for their continuous support of community policing initiatives in the state, the police boss, insisted that his ultimate goal is the “security and safety” of everyone in Kano State.

“I must thank and commend His Excellency, Executive Governor of Kano State, Engr. Abba Kabir Yusuf for his continuous support to the police command and urged everyone to work towards supporting the return of sustainable peace and security in the State for the overall interest of the entire state.”

“I also thank members of the Gobirawa-Gangare and Tudun Fulani community for making this a reality.”

The CP also appreciated the people of the state for their understanding, support, and cooperation.
