Police In Kano State Nabs 950 Suspected Political Thugs

The Kano State Police Command has stated that it had nabbed no fewer than 950 political thugs in the state, locally known as ‘Yan Dana, for allegedly attacking innocent residents in Kano metropolis within the past 9 days.

The Kano state police Commissioner identified as Mr Wakili Muhammad stated this when members of Kano Election Peace Committee paid him a courtesy visit in Kano today, February 19th.

According to Muhammad, the 950 suspects were apprehended in various areas of the metropolis for allegedly attacking residents with dangerous weapons.

Muhammad further stated that out of the 950 suspects, 750 had been remanded in various prisons pending the completion of their trial at the courts.

His statement read that most of those nabbed were found either intoxicated, in possession of illicit drugs or with dangerous weapons.

The Commissioner stated:

 “We are consistently raiding black spots and once you are arrested and confirmed to be ‘Dan daba’ nobody will bail you,” he said. He said the state command would not fold its arms and allow some disgruntled elements to continue to harrass and intimidate innocent citizens of the state.

“I agree with what you stand for that is peace. You have my total and unwaivering support because what you stand for is the bedrock of socio-economic development of any society,”

“The issue of drugs need a serious approach. We will not leave any stone unturned to ensure that the state is rid of criminals and any form of criminality.”

Early on, the co-chairman of the committee identified as Rev. Namaza Niyiring, commended the latest Police head for his effort to check political thuggery in the state.
