The Commissioner of Police Kano Command, CP Mohammad Usaini Gumel, says the police and other security agencies will adhere strictly to the court order with SUIT No. FHC/KN/CS/182/2024 dated May 23, 2024, issued by the Federal High Court sitting in Kano, along with all law enforcement agents in the state.
CP Gumel disclosed this while briefing journalist at the police headquarters Bompai, Kano.
“Therefore, we are calling on members of the public to understand that the Police in the state are working together with the military and other security agencies and are fully capable of providing adequate security to everyone. We are committed to carrying out our statutory duties as provided by the Constitution of the Federal Republic of Nigeria”, Gumel said.
The CP therefore advised the general public to remain calm, patient, and to keep cooperating with security agencies as the matter described would be addressed by the Court on the 3rd of June 2024.
“Let me also remind you that the position of the law is very clear as whoever, under whatever guise is found to be planning to disrupt the peace being enjoyed in the State or feel that he/she can jeopardize the existing security settings in the State will be arrested and made to face full wrath of the law. ”
“Therefore, as the Police Command is leading other security agencies to sustain the peace and peaceful coexistence for overriding interests, miscreants should stay clear of violence in all its ramifications and should not take advantage or hijack the current situation to launch unprovoked attack on people, property and infrastructure of the State.”
” Any person found with such tendency will be ruthlessly dealt with according to the law of the land”, the Police Commissioner emphasised.
Radio Nigeria earlier reported that Governor Abba Kabir Yusuf instructed security agencies to apprehend the deposed Emir, Alhaji Aminu Ado Bayero, as he was still presenting himself as the Emir of Kano.
