Two people, including a policeman and a bystander, were killed on Saturday night when suspected Boko Haram members opened fire on policemen at a checkpoint on Club Road, Kano.

The attacks came few hours shy to the commencement of Eid-el-Fitr festivities on Sunday.

DAILY NIGERIAN gathered that a policeman and a security guard at King’s Garden died on the spot, while another policeman was critically injured.

Security sources said the attackers, who were on motorcycle, took away the rifle of the slain policeman.

Spokesman for Kano Police Command, Magaji Majia, is yet to return our reporter’s calls through his mobile telephone numbers.

Incidents of Boko Haram attacks have almost completely stopped in the last two years in the commercial city.

The State Security Service, SSS, on Friday, said it had uncovered a plot by suspected terrorists to attack Kano, Kaduna, Sokoto and Maiduguri during the Eid-el-Fitr celebration.

The secret service said two suspects — Yusuf Adamu and Abdulmuminu Haladu — were arrested in Sokoto in connection with the plot in the early hours of Friday.

Some people are too careless woth their comments on social media thinking that such platdorms are not being watched by security operatives. With this his carelessness, I believe he would soon be apprehended and he would suffer torture before Evans is killed.

As Muslims around the world begin Eid-el-Fitr festivities on Sunday, scarcity of cash has hit Kano State.

Kano, the most populous city in Nigeria and predominantly a Muslim state is rich in religion and culture.

But many Muslims in the commercial city might observe a low-key celebration as they could not access cash as a result of long queues at ATM centres and banking halls.

DAILY NIGERIAN understood that the congestion might not be unconnected with the payment of salary by the state government since June 19.

Our correspondent observed on Saturday that customers who waited to withdraw cash thronged virtually all the banks and ATM centres around the Kano metropolis.

People were also seen queuing at the ATM spots as they reported to the points immediately after the dawn prayer; while others resorted to wait until after Sallah celebration to make the transactions.

Our reporter also gathered that some customers had already resorted to travelling away from Kano in order to make smooth transactions.

It was gathered that a number of Muslim faithful had traveled to the neighbouring Jigawa State and some local government areas that are far from the Kano metropolis to withdraw cash for their Sallah celebrations.

One of the affected customers, Salisu Bara’u, said “Let me tell you that accessing money in banks and ATMs in this town has become very hard. Look at how this ATM spot is overcrowded by customers. There is stampede and even some people fought here and reportedly at some centres.

“As I am speaking to you, I have been here since 5:00am but I am yet to make the transaction. I fear the machine would not be faulty.”

Another customer, Danjuma Yahya said he received his salary alert since Thursday but unable to access his cash due to overcrowding, adding that he wanted to use the money for the Sallah festivities on his family.

He attributed the problem to the failure of the banks to provide enabling environment that would favour the over population of customers in the state.

“Banks are aware of the population of Kano State. They need to create conducive atmosphere for the customers to withdraw cash without hitches. The network is also not helping matters.”

“The banks should upgrade the network to accommodate the high number of people for their daily transactions. It has become the order of the day whenever salary is paid in this state, so the banks need to take this into considerations,” he added.

Mr Yahaya, a secondary school principal also called on Consumer Protection Agency, CPA, to intervene into this matter, adding they should direct banks to increase hours of operations in during special periods to enable customers access their money.

He also called on the state government to as a matter of emergency review the salary payment by conducting ‘table payment’ procedure during an emergency period like the Sallah period.

A former manager at Intercontinental Bank, Zaharaddeen Abubakar, said the problem of transaction congestion was as a result of lower number of Automated Teller Machines in northern Nigeria.

According to him, the number of ATMs in Lagos alone was higher than the number of ATMs in all the northern states.

“So, the way forward is that the banks should introduce mobile ATM, especially using vans to be going round the city, including government ministries and agencies.

“Again, the government should vary the salary paydays. For instance, local governments should be paid on 20th, state workers should be paid on let’s say 24th, then the federal government workers be paid on 30th. This will reduce the congestion at the ATM centres and banks,” he suggested.

OkoYibo:
Behind every successful ipod yoot... is a long list of crimes.

I concur with the above

According to a Facebook user, an Igbo trader at Sabon Gari, Kano, reportedly gathers thirty (30) Almajiris at the market and slaps them with one set of Sallah cloth each.

This comes at the height of tension among the Igbos living in the North, following a quit notice issued to them by a coalition of Northern youth groups to vacate the region before 1st October, 2017.

A lot of Facebook users of Northern extraction have commended the effort of the philanthropic Igbo trader.

And the propander against igbos continue....which border in ebonyi are they crossing the cars......lies of the century

Shut up.... It is in Igbos' blood to commit crimes.

And how can you entrust power in the hands of these platinhos.... They would snatch everything from the masses.... It is in their blood to commit crimes no matter where they find themselves.

Seems to me like the North has a lot of power at its disposal..... It is obvious that the only thing holding this country together is the North...... What a powerful region!

NwaAmaikpe:


See the walls of the house in the second picture...

How can any one debase themself by living in such deplorable conditions.

If the bedroom walls are not even plastered I can imagine how secure the house will be

What if the robbers helped them...because now they can move to a decent apartment.

Ohhh so you think everybody is as affluent as you are? Some live in thatch huts, and some are even homeless...... The world is big and diverse.

I would rather walk through the water since it is not deep....

lloydtruth:
It's either you guys lack education or you enjoy lying to yourselves who is stopping you from owning properties in the east? Travel around and get exposed, life doesn't start and end in your state, leave your region, go to another region contribute to the economy of that region and then come back to discuss.

I move around more than you do.... I've been to the East and I know what is obtainable there.

Secondly, I am privileged to be in a position where I see information on the way local Igbo people shutdown firms and businesses in the name of not meeting their Corporate Social Responsibilities. So what are you talking about.

darkckUSA:
You are a misguided bigot. The yorubas do not even own lands on Ogun State or Lagos.. where will they see the money to buy? Not to talk of going to another man's land to buy.. no one in Igbo land has ever being denied the acess or right to own land or property in the east... your parents in their hatred has misguided you.. take a trip and do your research before you come here to spew rin bish from your mouth...

Just cited a reference for you about the proposed Dangote depot which was destroyed at the foundation level in Onitsha but you pretend you did not see it.... Let me re-paste the link again and tell me why.....

https://www.nairaland.com/3735004/suspected-thugs-destroy-proposed-dangote-affiliated

Let me tell you kid, I traveled the length and breadth of this country, I am not a kid like you who depends on what his parents and kinsmen tell him to judge others

lloydtruth:
Ungrateful in what aspect? did you buy any property for anybody? However this is so simple, if your people do not what igbos in your region then the igbos should FIRST have their country and then you can pass law to ban people of igbo extraction from entering or doing business in your region. (Anything less than this you people can do your worse up north) the biafra movement is unstoppable.

Did you allow other tribes to own big businesses in your domain same way Igbos are allowed to in other places?

Should any Yoruba or Hausa businessman own a popular investment in the East, you guys will at best impose an unrealistic levy on him or at worst burn down that investment. What happened to that depot Dangote tried to build down there? You people destroyed it.

Donyou now see the meaning of your ungratrfulness?

Just pack your stuff and leave before the ultimatum, is that too much to ask?

Oga police, allow him attend the referendum abeg.

AustineE1:
Am so impressed with the Ohaneze youths,this is intelligence at its peak,showing there superior intelligence and not behaving like those crude and unrefined Jihadist up north.
Nnamdi Kanu seems to be the smartest guy i have seen in recent years,the north has actual fallen into his trap,Nnamdi boasted that by the time he is done with the Nigerian state,they will be begging Igbos to leave and it seems like it is already happening.
God willing Igbos will definately leave but not without a referendum and official break up of the contraption.
In the 60's Igbos left for the East,in the quest to form Biafra but yet Nigerians still fought them in the East and insisted on one Nigeria and this was after they have claimed Igbo properties left behind.It was tagged 'abandoned properties'.
Igbos have learnt a big lesson,we can only leave when a referedum has been carried out and the contraption called Nigeria,officially divided.
The recession is biting hard,northerners and there co-travellers are begining to eye the properties and investment of the very hard working Igbo people of Nigeria.You voted APC so deal with it,the hunger is real!

Leave Leave Leave, is this single word hard to understand? Pack and leave for goodness sake.

lloydtruth:
Cowards as in Or are you among those already dreaming and salivating on igbo properties up north? If so you will continue to dream until your dream dries up in your skull.

Ohhh... So you people now believe there are Igbo properties up North huh?

You guys are simply ungrateful with all the freedom granted to you to conduct business in the North.

Meanwhile, nobody is planning any genocide against you.... Three months should be enough for you to pack everything and leave what you called Zoo.
