Kano State House of Assembly has constituted a seven-man committee to investigate the recent demolition of over 500 shops at Rano market in Rano Local Government Area.

The decision followed a motion of Urgent Public Importance raised by the member representing Rano Constituency, Ibrahim Muhammad (NNPP-Rano) who expressed concerns over the demolition’s impact on local traders and the community.

He described the demolition as “unfortunate,” urging the assembly to intervene and investigate the circumstances surrounding the action.

Muhammad called for clarity on the reasons behind the demolition, highlighting the severe economic hardship faced by the affected traders, who have lost their means of livelihood.

He also questioned the legality of the demolition, stressing that the affected shop owners were not given adequate notice or compensation.
