Patronizers of tricycles groan over incessant attack along Katsina road

Patronizers of tricycles especially those plying Katsina road have called on the authorities concerned to come to their aid by addressing incessant attacks taking place between Baban-Gwari roundabout and Kano Hajj camp’s traffic light.

According to some passengers, the area has become a haven for criminals, who developed the habit of attacking passengers of tricycles and robbing them of valuables including money, mobile phones and other items in the night hours.

Some of the victims, who spoke to Kano Chronicle on the unfortunate trend, urged the authorities to address the situation as quickly as possible.

One of them, Jabir Shu’aibu Fagge, a tailor told Daily Trust that he was attacked by armed thugs in the area about two weeks ago. He said, “I boarded a tricycle from Babban-Layi in Kurna to Fagge and the tricycle rider picked another passenger shortly after the newly constructed Kofar-Ruwa underpass bridge.
