One person, identified as Ismael Ahmad Musa, has been killed in Hotoro, a neighborhood in the Tarauni Local Government Area of Kano State.
The victim, a resident of Hotoro Danmarke, was confirmed dead by his brother, Mubarak, on Thursday.
It remains unclear if he was among the protesters who took to the streets that day.
He has since been buried according to Islamic rites.
According to Daily Trust, another victim who sustained serious injuries is fighting for his life at the Aminu Kano Teaching Hospital (AKTH). He is suspected to have also been struck by a stray bullet.
Meanwhile, the News Agency of Nigeria (NAN) reports that the Nigeria Communications Commission (NCC) office in Kano has been set ablaze.
A large group of youths, armed with dangerous weapons, has taken over major roads in Kano, according to NAN.
The newly constructed office was scheduled for inauguration next week.
In the Hotoro area of Kano, all shops were closed, and a filling station and a Rufaida shop were also set on fire.
Some residents have called on authorities to take immediate action to restore order and protect lives and property in the state.
A resident of Charanchi in the Gwale Local Government Area of Kano State, Isa Musa, characterized the current situation as a threat to humanity.
Musa urged the police to deploy additional personnel to the area to address the deteriorating security situation and restore order.
“The situation requires prompt action to ensure the safety and security of residents, protect property, and maintain law and order in the metropolis,” he said.
