He mentioned the areas as Tudun Yola,some parts of Nassarawa GRA closed to Kano Golf Club,The Fagge area and many other parts of the state.
Abba Hikima added that the youth which include women and children whose origin can not be traced said something must be done to trace where they came from.
According to the legal practitioner when they were interviewed majority of the homeless people sleeping on those streets will not tell you where they come from.
He also said apart from women and children who sleep on the streets of the state is there are other young women between age 14 to above who roam the the state and even if they are arrested by security agents no one can come and claim they are his relatives and as a result of that they continue to languish in various security cells across the state.
“As some people said Kano and Nigeria is on time Bomb something must be done to arrest the situation as they constitute nuisance and a security risk to the society”
He noted that major and minor offences are committed by strangers seizing the opportunity of the homeless individuals sleeping on the streets of the state.
Barrister Abba said all hands must be on deck to put a stop to the menace especially politicians and well to do individuals to rid the state of crime .
