BREAKING: Police Bans All Forms Of Protests In Kano

The Kano State Police Command, on Monday, August 21, placed an immediate ban on all forms of protests in the state.

This followed intelligence received by the Command that the two dominant parties; the New Nigeria People’s Party, NNPP, and the All Progressives Congress, APC, have assembled a crowd to embark on a protest over alleged bribery of the judiciary.

According to the Commissioner of Police in Kano State, Mohammed Usain Gumel, any attempt to disobey the directive would be treated as an offence against National Security.

He said, “Members of the public should therefore note that it has come to our knowledge that both the APC and the NNPP members are currently mobilizing rented crowd in the guise of Civil Society Coalition and without clearance from the leadership of the Nigeria Labour Congress and without prior approval from the security agencies in the state.

“Both organizers, as well as the umbrella body, should note that any attempt to disrespect NLC and the Security Agencies in the state, by playing around the fragile security situation, which the combined security agencies have been managing, is not only uncivil, criminal but also an offence against National Security.

“Finally, this Police Command is ever grateful with the enormous support and cooperation it has been enjoying from the good people of the State for the peace, security, stability and the overall interest of all.”
