The Kano State Government has accused the Commissioner of Police of disobeying the directives of the governor, particularly regarding the banning of Eid el-Kabir festivities. Kano State Attorney-General and Commissioner for Justice, Haruna Isa Dederi, raised the allegation in a press conference held at the Government House in Kano on Saturday.
“I am compelled to address you once again on behalf of the Executive Governor and the Government of Kano State over the unfortunate activities of some enemies of the state that are hell-bent on causing a breakdown of law and order in our state,' he said. Speaking on behalf of Governor Abba Yusuf, the Attorney-General noted: “Some people are desperately scheming to unjustly penalise the people of Kano for keeping to the tradition of radical politics of voting with their conscience.
He went in there and stayed there of his own volition, accompanied by security guards. Therefore, no one put him under house arrest. “When the former emir came in accompanied by hoodlums threatening the peace and orderliness of the state, the governor was under a duty to act to ensure peace, and that was why he issued the arrest order.
