In anticipation of the pending judgement by the Appeal Court on the state governorship election petition in Abuja, the Kano State Police command has implemented robust security measures to safeguard citizens and property.
The police, led by Commissioner Muhammad Usaini Gumel, announced the deployment of additional personnel and equipment across strategic locations within the state. This proactive move aims to prevent any potential disruptions or breaches of law and order.
The Appeal Court in Abuja is set to rule on the appeal filed by Governor Abba Kabir Yusuf, challenging his removal by the Election Petition Tribunal in favor of Nasiru Yusuf Gawuna, the gubernatorial candidate of the All Progressives Congress (APC).
Commissioner Gumel emphasized the collaborative efforts of the Police Command and other security agencies to maintain a secure environment. He reassured residents that security measures would be upheld before, during, and after the court’s decision.
An advisory was also issued to the public which reads;
“Politically motivated clustering of people at location under whatever guise will not be allowed.
“Engaging in mass actions, suggesting preparation for violent processions, protests or celebrations that may trigger reactions should be avoided.
“Unguarded statements from politicians likely to increase unnecessary tension or undermine the security arrangements and the sanctity of the judicial system should be avoided.”
