Kano Gov’t Threatens Sanction Against Youths Engaging In Communal Clashes

The Kano State Government has warned youths fond of terrorising some communities in the state to desist from disrupting the relative peace in the areas or face the wrath of government.

Commissioner for Internal Security and Special Services in the state, Air Vice Marshal Ibrahim Umar (retd) gave the warning when he led a delegation comprising the ministry’s directors and security operatives to Kurna Tudun Fulani, one of the most vulnerable areas in Dala local government area of the state.

The visit was sequel to security tips on how some unscrupulous youths have been terrorising the community which has led to the loss of lives and properties.

The commissioner however, noted, that one of such clashes recently led to the death of one Abba Sa’idu.

He said the Governor Abba Yusuf-led administration was committed to enhancing the security of the state, adding that frantic efforts were being taken to ensure that all unemployed youths were provided with skills to make them self-reliant and relevant in the society.

While stressing that security is everyone’s business, the commissioner said all hands must be on deck to safeguard the life of all.

He therefore advised every household in the area to join hands with security agencies and report suspicious persons to reduce security threats confronting the area.

In his remarks, the ward head of the area, Mal Usaini Ibrahim, appealed to the state government to site a police outpost in the community to enhance security in the area.

Mal Ibrahim also pledged the readiness of the community to provide a suitable location for the police station.
