ARTICLE SNIPPET: “Bruno said the survivor’s account of the shooting has caused authorities to slightly alter their description of the killer. The gunman is now described as having three to five “puffy” corn rows that begin at the top of his forehead. One strand with green beads hangs over his right cheek, police said.”
ARTICLE SNIPPET: “While police previously had said that the gunman was between 5 foot 8 inches and 5 foot 10 inches tall and between 230 and 250 pounds, on Wednesday they described him as having a large frame with his weight proportionate to his height. Police said he wore a black jacket at the time of the attack.
Bruno provided no other details about the case and would not comment on the surviving woman’s condition. He said the woman’s account of the attack is helping police put together an artist’s sketch that will be released soon.”

Tension was rife in Kano following moves by the state’s sharia police against brothel, hotels and cafes situated in non-Muslim sections of the Sabon Gari area of the metropolis. The sharia police numbering about two hundred were seen at night patrolling in seven open vehicles that carried dangerous weapons including bows, arrows, sticks and cutlass. They attacked a civil service club at Magajin Rumfa Road, and all the hotels that are located in Sabon Gari, an area where most of its inhabitants are Christians. The Sharia Police, otherwise called, Hisbah Police, earlier turned down summons by the Kano State Police Command, which had cautioned them about their unconstitutional activities. “We’re operating our duties based on law of the state, and shariah must be complied with by anyone residing in Kano” a top official of the Hisbah said following the police summons. When THISDAY visited the office of the Hisbah Police yesterday, about 70 females were found in cells, put there over allegations of prostitution, while one lady was in chains for declining to render relevant information.
