2023: Police ban street protests in Kano
PRESS RELEASE
EMERGENCY PUBLIC ANNOUNCEMENT FROM KANO STATE POLICE COMMAND!! BANNING OF STREET PROTESTS ACROSS KANO STATE
In consideration of the confirmatory intelligence products at the disposal of this Police Command, all forms of street protests are hereby banned across all parts of the State.
- Members of the public should therefore note that it has come to our knowledge that both the APC and the NNPP members are currently mobilizing rented crowds in the guise of a Civil Society Coalition and without clearance from the leadership of the Nigeria Labour Congress (NLC) and without prior approval from the security agencies in the state. Both organizers, as well as the umbrella body, should note that any attempt to disrespect NLC and the Security Agencies in the state, by playing around the fragile security situation, which the combined security agencies have been managing, is not only uncivil, criminal but also an offense against National Security
- Checks have so far been conducted by this Police Command and It’s revealing that some members of both two political parties who are influencing the members of Civil Society to embark on this decision is merely as a result of their apprehensions and to pre-empt the judgment of the election Tribunal.
- Finally, this Police Command is ever grateful with the enormous support and cooperation it has been enjoying from the good people of
the State for the peace, security, stability, and overall interest of all residents.
- Thank you all…
ANNOUNCER: CP MOHAMMED USAINI GUMEL, FIPMA, pse COMMISSIONER OF POLICE, KANO STATE POLICE COMMAND. 21 AUGUST, 2023.
