Police allays fears over possible attack on Kano

By FANEN IHYONGO, Kano

Kano State Commissioner of Police, Habu Sani, on Tuesday urged the general public to disregard rumours of a possible attack on the ancient city of Kano by unidentified bandits.

Briefing reporters at the Police Command, he assured that the police and sister-security agencies in the state were fully on ground to protect lives and property.

Sani spoke after decorating 252 officers who were elevated to new ranks.

He confirmed that the police have received reports of rumours of eminent attack.

He however, assured that adequate security arrangements have been put in place for any eventuality.

He added that police and sister-security agencies have made several visits to identified areas suspected to be haven for bandits, but revealed that nothing yet was enough to bring panic in the commercial city.

“The people of Kano should move about and do their normal businesses without fears. But I am appealing to them to report suspicious movements and continue to help us with useful information that can lead to apprehension and prosecution of criminals and bandits,” he said. (The Nation)
