“On 20/03/2023 at about 1400hrs, some group of thugs under the cover of celebrating Gubernatorial Election Victory went berserk, stormed and attacked the residence of one Dauda Adamu Abdullahi (Rarara) located at Hausawa Layout Zoo Road Kano, his Studio located behind Gidan Dan Asabe Zoo Road, his office named “13×13” Movement located at opposite Kano Zoo, Zoo Road Kano, burnt and destroyed parts of the buildings, his two Motor Vehicles and looted and destroyed properties worth Millions of Naira, and also attacked other four commercial shops belonging to four different people.
“Another group also attacked the All Progressive Congress (APC) State Secretariat Office located at Hotoro, Kano, destroyed parts of the building and looted properties.
“On receipt of the reports, teams of Operation Restore Peace as well as firefighters were mobilized to the scenes. The fire was brought under control and normalcy was immediately restored.
He listed some of the recovered looted properties at Zoo Road as one Ice Cream Machine, Motorcycle Hajue-UD, Hero Motorcycle, Office Chair, Plasma LG, One Samsung Air Condition, One Refrigerator, One HD Camera Canon and Parts of Mikano Generator.
