Police Arrest Notorious Gang Leader in Kano

The Kano State Police Command has arrested a notorious gang leader who has long terrorised residents across several communities within the state. The suspect, identified as Sunusi, popularly known as Dawa Dan Kamsusi, was apprehended alongside nine other alleged gang members during a coordinated security operation.

According to police authorities, the arrest followed months of intelligence gathering and repeated complaints from residents over violent attacks, intimidation, and public disturbances linked to the gang. Security personnel launched a targeted operation after tracking the movements of the suspects across hotspots known for gang activities.

Police spokespersons confirmed that the suspects were found in possession of dangerous weapons and other items believed to have been used in their operations. The arrest, they said, forms part of ongoing efforts to dismantle criminal networks responsible for a series of street violence and unrest in the metropolis.

The police command described the operation as “a major breakthrough in restoring peace and order in Kano State.” Residents had long expressed fear over the activities of the gang, which was said to have been involved in multiple violent clashes, harassment of civilians, and disruption of business activities.

Authorities also noted that investigations are underway, with the suspects expected to face prosecution once preliminary inquiries are concluded. The police reiterated their commitment to intensifying patrols and surveillance to curb criminal activities within the state.

Community leaders and residents have since lauded the arrest, describing it as a welcome development that will help restore calm in areas previously plagued by gang violence.

BREAKING: FG Approves 40% Pay Rise —Non-Academic Staff Left Out

Image
Nigeria’s university system has been thrown into fresh debate following confirmation that the Federal Government’s newly approved 40% salary increase applies strictly to lecturers, leaving non-academic university workers completely excluded from the landmark deal. The historic agreement, signed between the Federal Government and the Academic Staff Union of Universities (ASUU), ends a 16-year renegotiation stalemate and delivers a major financial boost to academic staff alone — professors, readers, senior lecturers, and other teaching personnel in federal universities. ZANCEN YAU 247 has gathered that , according  to official details of the agreement, the 40% increment is tied to the Consolidated University Academic Staff Salary Structure (CONUASS) and enhanced academic-specific allowances, particularly the Consolidated Academic Tools Allowance (CATA) meant for research, publications, conferences, and teaching support.     ZANCEN YAU 247    has l...

Nigeria’s Ivory Towers in Ruins: An Investigative Look at the Dilapidated State of Nigerian Universities

Image
Across the country, Nigeria’s public universities — once proud centres of academic excellence — now tell a story of chronic neglect, crumbling infrastructure, and systemic failure.  Despite repeated government promises, reforms, and intervention funds, the reality on the ground remains stark: lecture halls are dilapidated, hostels overcrowded or unsafe, laboratories obsolete, and academic activity repeatedly disrupted by strikes and funding shortfalls. A Legacy Fading: What We Saw in the Country’s Premier Institutions At the University of Ibadan (UI), Nigeria’s oldest university and once a symbol of academic strength, the decay is unmistakable. Cracked walls, leaking roofs, and peeling paint scar once-majestic buildings, even iconic landmarks such as Trenchard Hall. Frequent power outages force reliance on noisy, polluting generators. Road networks within the campus are potholed, and water scarcity undermines hygiene.  “We are trying to provide a world-class educat...

BREAKING: US Finally Withdraws from WHO

Image
The United States has formally withdrawn from the World Health Organization (WHO), a move that strips the UN health agency of one of its largest financial contributors and marks a major shift in global health diplomacy. The withdrawal follows an executive order signed a year ago by US President Donald Trump, who repeatedly accused the WHO of being overly “China-centric” in its handling of the Covid-19 pandemic. The decision  ZANCEN YAU24  understood has now taken full effect, confirming the US exit from the global health body. In a statement, the US Department of Health and Human Services said the withdrawal was based on what it described as the WHO’s “mishandling” of the Covid-19 crisis, its failure to implement meaningful reforms, and what it called undue political influence from member states. ZANCEN YAU24 learned that the the World Health Organization has strongly rejected the allegations. WHO Director-General Dr. Tedros Adhanom Ghebreyesus described the US dec...
