Kano State Governor, Abba Kabir Yusuf, has expressed deep sorrow over the brutal killing of a Kano woman and her children in Dorayi Chiranchi Quarters, describing the incident as barbaric, senseless and a grave assault on human dignity.

Governor Yusuf extended his heartfelt condolences to the bereaved family, the people of Dorayi Chiranchi, and the entire Kano State, praying that Allah grants the departed eternal rest and gives their loved ones the fortitude to bear the painful loss.
He described the murder of a mother and her innocent children as unacceptable and vowed that his administration would not allow such a heinous crime to go unpunished.
The Governor has directed the Kano State Police Command to immediately hunt down the perpetrators and ensure they are arrested and prosecuted, warning that anyone found culpable will face the full wrath of the law.
Governor Yusuf also ordered the Kano Neighborhood Corps to intensify patrols and community surveillance across vulnerable areas, as part of his administration’s ongoing efforts to strengthen grassroots security and prevent a recurrence of such tragedy.
He called on residents to remain calm, cooperate with security agencies, and promptly report suspicious activities, assuring that the government remains fully committed to protecting lives and property.
MEANWHILE, the Kano State Police Command has confirmed the arrest of suspects involved in the gruesome murder of a woman and her five children in Dorayi Chiranchi. According to Police PRO SP Abdullahi Haruna Kiyawa, the syndicate leader, Umar Auwalu, confessed to the crime and other killings in Kano, including the murder and burning of two housewives in Tudun Yola.
