Kano guber: Police speak on reported killing in Gama ward
DIG Michael blamed social media for spreading the fake news. According to him, the story was the fabrication of the social media.
“There was no such incident or arrest of some people in any part of the state because the security arrangement was in order,” NAN reports him as saying at a press briefing.“There has not been report of any incident of thugs taking over polling unit. If thugs occupy any polling unit definitely INEC officials will not be there to conduct election,” he said.
Michael said the Police Command arrested 10 suspected thugs for allegedly carrying weapons in the metropolis. “Some human beings were arrested in the early hours of today by our men and they were found in group with some weapons like sticks and other things,” he said. The DIG said investigation into the matter was ongoing, adding that as soon as investigation was concluded they would be charged to court.
