Amid the Emirship tussle in Kano State, the police have uncovered plans to unleash mayhem in the North-West state. The Police Commissioner in the state, Husaini Gumel, stated this in a press briefing at the Government House late on Sunday. According to him, the police and other security agencies have mobilized to take down anyone trying to cause terror in the state.

The police commissioner revealed that they have obtained intelligence indicating that certain groups of individuals, whom he described as enemies of the state, are planning targeted attacks on key locations such as the House of Assembly and other privileged areas within the state capital. This alarming plot, as verified by multiple sources, has prompted the security forces to step up their surveillance and preventative measures.

Crackdown on Miscreants

In response to the threat, the police have vowed to intensify patrols and search operations to root out the miscreants hiding within the state. Commissioner Gumel emphasized the readiness of the security forces to confront anyone attempting to disrupt the peace and security of Kano. He warned that those who defy the law and attempt to challenge the authorities will face swift and decisive action.

“We are prepared to conduct thorough house-to-house searches. Anyone who dares to challenge the rule of law will be dealt with accordingly. Kano’s safety will not be compromised, and we will uphold the law without exception,” he stated firmly.

Government Stance on Chieftaincy Disputes

The recent upheaval in Kano’s chieftaincy affairs, culminating in the controversial dethronement of Aminu Ado Bayero and his replacement by Muhammad Sanusi II, has sparked protests and heightened tensions in the state. Governor Abba Kabir’s decision has been met with mixed reactions, further aggravating the already delicate situation.

Commissioner Gumel reiterated the government’s stance on the matter, emphasizing the need to respect and abide by the existing legal framework governing chieftaincy issues. The law enforcement agencies are committed to upholding the rule of law and ensuring peace and stability in the state amidst the ongoing turmoil.
