Aminu Abdullahi Ibrahim
Residents of the Dorayi community in Gwale Local Government, Kano State, lamented that rampant thuggery in the area has led to youths refusing to marry their daughters.
This concern was raised during a community stakeholder meeting aimed at addressing the thuggery problem in the area and neighboring communities.
The meeting, which drew a large attendance from representatives of various affected areas, including Dorayi Karama, Chiranci, Gidan Dakali, Ja’en Makera, Gobirawa, and Kan Fako, was convened by the Dorayi Youths Community Development Association.
Initially, the association met with affected traders who suffered significant losses during the recent crisis that claimed many lives, including the commander of the vigilante group.
The association also engaged with parents and youths to promote peaceful coexistence.
Malam Muhammad Tijjani, chairman of the Dorayi security committee, explained that they discussed the insecurity menace extensively and developed a framework to address it.
Tijjani expressed concern that most thugs terrorizing the communities are under 35, and instead of being positive ambassadors, they cause trouble.
He noted that responsible individuals now hesitate to marry their daughters due to the thuggery acts, which threaten the future of their children, especially girls.
He cited an instance where a groom’s relatives refused to attend a wedding in Dorayi until the location was changed.
The ward head of Dorayi Karama, represented by Umar Shehu, pledged traditional rulers’ support for peace efforts.
He condemned politicians who secure bail for arrested thugs, allowing them to celebrate their release.
Dr. Abdullahi Idris Danfodiyo, a resident, highlighted the lack of unity and assistance for injured community members, leading to a decline in participation.
He welcomed the initiative to sanitize the area and deal with the culprits to restore the community’s reputation. He urged the new police commissioner, Salman Dogo, to reject bail requests for thugs caught in the act.
It can also be recalled that the former police commissioner, Usaini Gumel, who promised to establish an Anti-Daba office in the area and deployed the police Anti-Daba squad, which is no longer present.
