The Kano Command of the Nigeria police has warned former Governor
Rabiu Musa Kwankwaso against coming to the state on 30th January because
already there is palpable fear tension among peoples.
The Police Commissioner Rabiu Yusuf told journalists, Friday,
that, “we advise Kwankwaso to shelved his much-proposed visit or the law will
take it cause”.
Rabiu Yusuf noted that there is no doubt that Kwankwaso 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 Kano people.
He said, “there is apprehension amongst the general public and the
tendencies to hijack the visit by some disgruntled politicians or miscreants
cannot be wished away “.
The Police Commissioner noted that the urgent need to nip the
problems in the bud cannot be overemphasized, furthermore that primary
responsibility of Police is to protect life and property.
“Therefore any action or inaction by any person or group of persons that may
jeopardize the relative peace in the state is currently enjoying must be
averted “.
“But is Kwankwaso insisted of coming the law would take it natural
cause because we cannot file down our arms and allow peace to be truncated by
any person or group of persons,” he added.
Similarly, he said, “on this premise, it is the candid advice of
the command that such a visit to the state should be shelved by Senator Rabiu
Musa Kwankwaso until the tension generated by the planned visit is doused and
security threat neutralized.”
The Commissioner Rabiu Yusuf said although they received
application letter for permission from Kwankwaso dated 16th January but
submitted to his office on 25th January 2018.
He said they have since replied Kwankwaso advising him to shelved
his visit to Kano.
