Thieves broke into a big mosque in Kano and stole 25 ceiling fans off the roof.
The mosque is known as one of the biggest centres for Qadiriyya followers.
Dala Local Government's Public Relations Officer, Sagiru Nazifi Yakasai, shared the news with reporters on Monday.
He quoted Alhaji Salisu Sabon Titi, a member of the Gwammaja Inafita group, who said the thieves have been taking mosque fittings, lights and other valuables.
They have also damaged the light poles.
Residents are scared, and many now avoid going out after 6pm.
Five motorcycles were stolen last week, and some people have had their phones snatched.
Salisu has asked the Kano State Government and the Multi Agency Task Force on Drug Abuse and Illicit Trafficking to act quickly to protect lives and property in the area.
