Some frustrated women and young girls in Kano have taken their protest to Kofar Mata metropolis, an area known for brutal thuggery and killings over incessant loss of lives to the menace. The women who trooped out on Saturday, demanded an urgent end to the violence that has cost the lives of their children and siblings. Chanting slogans and holding placards, the protesters marched through the streets, calling on authorities to take decisive action. A woman at the protest lamented that “our sons are dying for no reason. Every day, there is a fight, a killing, a stabbing,” said one grieving mother at the scene. “We can’t continue like this,” another woman said. In recent months, Kano State has witnessed a disturbing surge in street violence, with thuggery, phone snatching, and gang clashes becoming alarmingly common. On Friday August 1st and 31st July 2025, there were reported thug clashes along that area. A medical personnel in the area, Sadiya Umar told that I just passed the area today and I heard teargas and I think I heard gunshots too. She said: “We were terrified, but I didn’t hear of the death of anyone.” The growing insecurity has led to the loss of lives, especially among young people caught in the crossfire of gang rivalries.
