Suspected thieves have stolen 25 ceiling fans from Kanzul Mudalsam Mosque (regarded as the biggest mosque of Qadiriyya followers) in Gwammaja, along Katsina Road, Kano.
The Public Relations Officer of Dala Local Government Area, Sagiru Nazifi Yakasai, disclosed this to newsmen on Monday, November 9, 2026.
He quoted Alhaji Salisu Sabon Titi, an aide and member of the Gwammaja Inafita group, as expressing concern over the rising cases of theft and gang violence in the neighbourhood.
Salisu said the suspects had been stealing mosque fittings and other valuables, including lighting equipment, while also vandalising the poles on which the lights were installed.

He said the situation had made residents feel unsafe, forcing many to avoid moving around the area after 6pm.
He added that five motorcycles were stolen last week, while some residents were dispossessed of their mobile phones.
Salisu appealed to the Kano State Government and the Multi-Agency Task Force on Drug Abuse and Illicit Trafficking, led by Muhyi Magaji Rimin Gado, to urgently address the security challenges and protect lives and property in the area.
