Governor Yusuf Abba has approved the formation of mobile courts to ensure prompt prosecution of phone snatchers in Kano State.
A statement by the governor’s spokesman, Sanusi Dawakintofa, said the mobile courts would work with a special joint task force to try the accused persons.
Mr Yusuf said that major streets in the metropolis had been lit up after eight years of darkness as the lamps were switched off.
“The return of street lights is part of the efforts by the new administration to tackle robbery, phone snatching and other criminal activities, especially in metropolitan Kano.
“The ongoing exercise started penultimate Tuesday and will continue until every part of the state is saved from darkness that provides cover for criminals and political thugs,” he said.
