The Federal Road Safety Corp (FRSC) in Kano, has issued a precautionary alert following multiple reports of suspicious activity involving unidentified motorcyclists, locally referred to as Yan Achaba, observed moving across various areas in the city. The incidents, noted predominantly at odd hours and near sensitive locations, have prompted concerns about possible surveillance or preparatory actions linked to criminal activity or banditry operations.

These movements, especially in proximity to critical infrastructure and security points, have raised alarms. The alert classified the risk level associated with these activities as moderate to high, while recommending precautionary measures to mitigate potential threats.
In response to these observed potential threats, the Corps rolled out a series of precautionary measures to ensure public safety and maintain order. The actions, aimed at both preventing potential incidents and fostering a sense of security, have been met with a measured response from residents and community leaders.
Security personnel have been instructed to intensify discreet surveillance efforts in all affected areas. According to the alert, these enhanced monitoring operations are designed to closely watch for any suspicious activity connected to the unidentified motorcyclists, while minimizing disruption to daily life. The approach emphasizes discretion to avoid causing unnecessary alarm among the population.
The alert also states that any local intelligence gathered regarding the unknown motorcyclists will be systematically shared with relevant security agencies at both the local and national levels. This collaborative information-sharing initiative aims to enable thorough investigations and facilitate coordinated follow-up actions, ensuring that all leads are pursued efficiently.
The alert further called on the members of the community to remain vigilant and report any suspicious movements or activities promptly to law enforcement. It stressed the importance of this vigilance in supporting ongoing operations, while also cautioning against the spread of rumors or panic.
