Kano State Government has ordered the immediate demolition of an illegal building in Sheikh Nasiru Kabara’s house.
Governor Abdullahi Ganduje of Kano State gave the order after investigation revealed that no official approval was given for the structure on the land belonging to the Kano State Emirate Council.
This is contained in a statement issued by the Public Relations Officer of the Agency, Nabilusi Abubakar on Tuesday in Kano.
Alhaji Baffa Babba-Ɗan’agundi, Managing Director of Kano State Road and Traffic Agency(KAROTA), said neither the state government nor Emirate council gave the permit for the construction.
“It is important for the public to know that the illegal building had led to suspicion between the state government and the Emirate.
”It was discovered that some greedy and self-centered persons who only care about their interest were behind it.
“Further investigations are ongoing and the governor ordered complete demolition of the fencing and installation of recreational facilities for children while the remaining space used for zikir by the Kadariyya sect will also be well fenced.
“The governor has also directed for a 24/7 security presence in the area to protect children in play ground, parents and guardians against all forms of crimes”, he said.
Baffa-Dan’agundi is also the chairman Committee on Removal of Illegal Structures.
He warned that those who engage in erecting illegal structures in the state must henceforth desist from such as government have resolved to prosecute anyone caught violating state laws regarding acquiring land and building.
