In Kano state, there was tension following the purported killing of two youths by policemen from "anti-daba unit" of the state police command.
Though there has not been any official confirmation in respect to the incident, it was gathered that the victims were shot at Sharada quarters when the anti-daba unit visited.
An unconfirmed report indicated that the police were in the habit of extorting the youths of the area. However, the same attempt was resisted on Saturday, November 14, which resulted in the use of live ammunition and the death of two.
