WARNS KWANKWASO NOT TO VISIT KANO ON 30TH JANUARY
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 in the polity.
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.
