This is a case study of Kano and Kaduna which explored the case of ethnic conflict in a different perspective to realize that conflict can be the result of power manipulations from political leaders/elites resulting in commotion and violence that eventually dragged in many innocent people.

Third, to ascertain the causes of ethnic conflicts and the group involve in the northern states and, fourth to examine the impact on the northern region. In this study, the conflict and political process approach introduced by Conn (1971) had been used to explain the relationship between conflict and political power manipulations. This approach is further modified to be consistent with this research questions about how far political power manipulations has caused ethnic conflict in the north and in Nigeria at large. Data was collected through an integrated qualitative and quantitative method. A total of 500 respondents were sampled, involving 300 from Kano and 200 from Kaduna.
