<p>Civic platform One Kano Agenda has raised alarm over rising insecurity in Kano State, warning that abductions, attacks, and suspicious activities are threatening both residents and the wider Northern region. The group made the call during a press conference in Kano on Wednesday , stressing that the state’s reputation for peace and hospitality is under strain.</p>
<p>According to the group adressed by its Chairman Abbas Abdullahi Yakasai said credible reports have emerged of unidentified individuals operating commercial motorcycles across several communities, particularly in Kano North.</p>
<p>Many of these individuals reportedly do not speak fluent Hausa, fueling suspicion among locals. The organization commended the Kano State Government for swiftly banning motorcycles in the metropolis and praised Governor Abba Kabir Yusuf’s introduction of the Safe Corridor program, which has absorbed over 2,000 youths into community security and intelligence structures.</p>

<p>According to Abbas initiative said for the first time in Kano’s history that insecurity is being tackled through both rehabilitation and enforcement. Previous administrations, it noted, relied largely on force and political alliances. Residents were urged to report suspicious activities, avoid direct confrontation, and remain vigilant.</p>
<p>Abbas Abdullahi Yakasai further called on Emirate Councils and traditional leaders to strengthen coordination with district and village heads to ensure swift information flow to security agencies. The group also urged community members to cooperate fully with police, vigilante units, and intelligence frameworks, while encouraging security agencies to intensify patrols and surveillance, especially in border and transport areas.</p>

<p>The organization expressed concern over what it described as “reckless politicization” of security challenges by certain media outlets and political actors. It accused some of exploiting the situation for personal gain, pointing to reports of police redeployment from flashpoints to cemeteries, leaving vulnerable communities exposed. “Such actions embolden criminal elements to see Kano as a safe haven,” the group warned.</p>
<p>On recent directives involving a former governor and a senator, One Kano Agenda stressed the importance of due process and professionalism. It urged security agencies to act transparently and in compliance with constitutional provisions, regardless of the individuals’ status.</p>
<p>In its closing remarks, the civic platform announced plans for a “Peace Walk” and “Prayer for Divine Intervention” to unite residents and foster solidarity. Abbas Abdullahi Yakasai said the initiative, it said, would appeal for divine protection over Kano and Northern Nigeria. The group urged stakeholders, especially media and political actors, to prioritize public safety over personal gain.</p>
