The Kano State Police Command have uncovered fresh plots to unleash mayhem in the state following the ongoing power tussle over the Kano Emirship seat.
Announcing the development at a press briefing on Sunday night, Kano Commissioner of Police, Mohammed Usaini Gumel, disclosed that the police have received “credible information” of plans to unleash mayhem in the state.
According to him, the police and other security agencies have mobilized to take down anyone trying to cause terror in the state.
“Anybody who wants to test the ground, the security has the capacity to deal with the miscreants. We have perfected plans to embark on serious patrols and detection on locations where we are informed the miscreants are hiding,”Gumel said.
He added, “We are going to embark on a house-to-house search; anybody who feels he is stronger than the law should try it. Kano will remain safe and nobody can override the decision.
“The issue of chieftaincy affairs has been perfected by the executive arm of government. We are standing by the law and we are strictly going to enforce the existing law.”
Gumel’s comment comes amid uncertainties surrounding the Kano emir seat after Aminu Ado-Bayero was dethroned on Thursday by the governor of the state, Abba Yusuf, and Muhammadu Sanusi II was reappointed as the 16th Emir of Kano on Friday.
