The Kano State Police Command has said that it is working with other security agencies to maintain peace and obeying the court order restraining Sanusi from being restored after his removal from the stool four years ago.
Governor Kabir Yusuf has ordered the arrest of the deposed Emir of Kano Aminu Ado Bayero for allegedly creating tension in the state.
Report says the former Emir returned to Kano City last night in an attempt to forcefully return to the palace two days after being deposed by the Governor.
Yusuf has directed the Commissioner of Police to arrest the deposed Emir with immediate effect for disturbing public peace and attempting to destroy the relative peace the state enjoys.
Meanwhile, addressing a joint press conference with other security agencies, the Commissioner of Police in Kano, Mohammed Usaini Gumel the Police Command is expressly obeying the Court order with suit no: FHC/KN/CS/182/2024 dated 23rd May, 2024 issued by the Federal High Court sitting in Kano alongside all Law Enforcement agents in the State.
Gumel called on members of the public to know that the Police in the State is working together with the military and other security agencies and are with full capacity for providing the adequate security to everyone as we are committed to carrying out our statutory duties as provided by the Constitution of the Federal Republic of Nigeria.
He said no doubt, “the law abiding people of Kano State are known for a revered cultural heritage and respect for constituted authorities and in this regard, advised to remain calm, patient, and to keep cooperating with security agencies as the matter described will be addressed by the Court on the 3rd of June 2024.
“Let me also remind you that the position of the law is very clear as whoever, under whatever guise is found to be planning to disrupt the peace being enjoyed in the State or feel that he/she can jeopardize the existing security settings in the State will be arrested and made to face full wrath of the law.”
He said that the Police Command is leading other security agencies to sustain the peace and peaceful coexistence for overriding interests, miscreants should stay clear of violence in all its ramifications and should not take advantage or hijack the current situation to launch unprovoked attack on people, property and infrastructure of the State. “Any person found with such a tendency will be ruthlessly dealt with according to the law of the land.
“By and large, the combined security agencies in the State have set out all machinery in place to ensure no breakdown of law and order as the safety and security of all the inhabitants in the State remain sacrosanct.
“On this note, on behalf of all the security agencies, I thank all the good people of the State for their understanding, prayers, continuous support and cooperation,” he said.
