In Kano, the government of Abba Gida-Gida demolished 126 billion houses in just two weeks.

In a long article that came out on Sunday in THE NATION newspaper, it was said that many people in the Salanta area of Kano city have raised worries and that people in the area have criticized what the state government has done in the area. I keep knocking down buildings that I think are against the law.

The current Kanon government tore down a three-story building with more than 90 shops at the Racecourse, Nasarawa GRA, that cost more than 100 billion Naira, as well as the 90-room Daula Hotel, which fell down. up to more than 10 billion Naira.

Many people have lost their businesses because of the damage, and some buildings are still being torn down to stop what the government calls "encroachment" on public lands.

Yesterday, the government said that two people who died after the fall were looters.

The government sent condolences to the families of the people who died, but also told people to stay away from the fallen buildings because going near them is bad for people's health.

Six days after he took office, Governor Abba Yusuf gave people the chance to tear down the sites. He said that his predecessor, Abdullahi Ganduje, gave private people government land.

Governor Ganduje denied the claims and said that the Cabinet had accepted some of the buildings as joint projects with the PPP.

At the Kano racecourse, where the work started, government trucks tore down a three-story building with 90 shops in it.

The governor then told the people who were building in the area of the pilgrim camp to stop building.

But when it got dark, the thieves started to build the pilgrims' camp and knocked down all the houses there.

Also, the Daula Hotel, which is 90% done, and the main hall of the Kano government house, which was built for Kano's 50th anniversary and cost about 160 million naira. The government said they were destroyed because the statue was wearing a cross (Kuros), which is not appropriate in a state like Kano, which has a large majority Muslim population.

Yesterday, though, the damage took a different form when the people of Salanta asked the government to stop tearing down their buildings without giving them notice or giving them money.

They said that when they bought the land from the Ganduje government, they did everything the right way.

Many people saw on a video that one of the people in the neighborhood who was hurt when the Security Officers got between them and the attackers was calling someone to help him.

Someone could be heard saying, "You won't be able to tear down our house tonight without telling us." We have all our legal papers. We all live here with our families, and this is mean. They picked bad luck for us.

"They ruined our shops in the market, and now they've moved back in with us without paying us anything. We will die here." That person who lives in the area.

Others were shouting "Allahu Akbar!" (Allah is the best) and promising to protect their property from those who would hurt it.
