The Police in Kano State have arrested eight suspects for allegedly attempting to disrupt the inauguration of newly-appointed commissioners at the Kano Government House.
The Commissioner of Police, Mr Usaini Gumel, disclosed this on Friday, adding that the suspects posed security threats at the venue.
He warned miscreants and their sponsors to stay clear as whoever tried to cause security breach or disrupt the peace where critical government activities and functions were being conducted would be arrested and made to face the consequences of his action.
“Enough of clusters of ‘Yan Jagaliya’ loitering around Government House, Audu Bako Secretariat and similar offices trying to disrupt governance.
“The leader of eight thugs, being unrepentant and without remorse, led his team to the venue again until he and members met their waterloo and apprehended by the crime prevention patrol. “The suspected thugs constituted themselves as pressure group and supporters of one of the infamous politicians and attempted to cause the breakdown of law and order.”
He explained that the suspects were currently at the Command’s Criminal Investigation Department CID where thorough investigations were ongoing, to bring them to justice as provided by the law.
