Kano Police Warns Parents Against Allowing Their Wards to be Used by ‘Selfish’ Individuals
The Kano State Police Command on Wednesday advised residents to guard their wards against being used by lawless and selfish individuals.
This is contained in a statement issued by the Command’s Public Relations Officer, SP Abdullahi Kiyawa in Kano.
He explained that between 5 a.m. and 6.30 a.m. there was fire outbreak that torched three offices of the Local Government Secretariat.
“Unfortunately, at about 11.35hours some faceless intruders made forceful entry into the Secretariat Complex and turned the place rowdy and begin pelting stones on everyone.
“The situation is adequately under control as investigation into the immediate and remote causes of the incidences is ongoing.
“All residents are advised to keep calm and be rest assured that the Police is on top of the situation and is fully prepared to deal with any person found constituting threat to national security.

“The timeframe for suspension of the Chairman of Gwale Local Government Area by the Kano State House of Assembly has elapsed today, Wednesday, 13th December, 2023 and there is subsisting Court order reinforcing that the Chairman resumes work accordingly,” the statement said.
It said that the entire area was now calm while joint security operatives were providing the desired security.
The Commissioner of Police (CP) Hussaini Gumel, while appreciating the confidence extended by the residents to the command, however, called for more support to sustain the peace in the state.
He also urged the residents to keep reporting any suspicious movement of which person(s) or item(s) they come across to the nearest security outpost for necessary action.
Meanwhile the Chairman of Gwale Local Government Area, Khalid Ishaq Diso, said that after reinstatement by the Court, he sought accurate Police protection to the Secretariat.
“My reinstatement has nothing to do with the burning down of about 17 offices and some vehicles.
“We are working along with security agencies in digging down whoever is behind the acts,” he said.
