The Kano State Police Command,
has advised APC Senator from Kano Central, Rabi’u Kwankwaso, to suspend his
proposed visit to the state on January 30.
The State Commissioner of
Police, Mr. Rabiu Yusuf, gave the advice while briefing newsmen in Kano on
Friday, January 26.
The advice, he said, was
necessary in view of tensions generated by the planned visit among the people
of the state.
According to Yusuf:
“There is no doubt, the Senator as a citizen of this country has the
constitutional right of association, assembly, and above all, movement.
“However, credible information
at the disposal of the command reveals that the proposed visit has generated
palpable fears in the minds of the people of Kano State.”
He said there was apprehension
among the general populace, including the probability that certain hostile
elements could hijack the visit.
He indicated that the police command will ensure that peace prevailed in the
state.
“Any action or inaction by any
person or group of persons that may jeopardize the relative peace the state is
currently enjoying must be averted,” he stated.
“It is the advice of the command that such a visit should be shelved by Sen Rabi’u
Kwankwaso, until the tension generated by the planned visit is doused.”
He assured that the command
would provide a level playing field for all politicians to carry out their
political activities, without fear of molestation or intimidation.
