The Kano State Police Command, has said that, they are clamping down Protesters who were chanting provocative slogans against the Emir of Kano, Alhaji Aminu Ado Bayero.
This was disclosed by the State Commissioner of Police, Muhammad Gumel, while briefing Reporters in Kano on Monday.
The commissioner noted that the said persons caused public disturbance during the inauguration of Hasiya Bayero Paediatric Hospital, near the Emir’s palace on Sunday, 13th August.
According to reports, the Protesters were chanting slogans like, “new governor, new Emir,” insisting his replacement, since it’s a new Government.
Gumel said they have used the CCTV footage to identify those involved, adding that they will also clamp down their sponsors.
The Commissioner said, “Those people were not invited to the event. They were intruders who came on their own, and they must have been sponsored by somebody or a group of persons.
“They chanted slogans, like “new governor, new Emir,” insisting that Governor Abba Yusuf should remove the Emir and install a new one since it is a new government in power.
“Those people were not invited to the event. They were intruders who came on their own, and they must have been sponsored by somebody or a group of persons.
“Six persons have been identified. We used technology to track them down. We are still analysing the video footage, and we are making efforts to arrest all those involved. We are also making efforts to get their sponsors.
“Traditional institution is a respectable institution; anybody who messes around with the traditional institution is a saboteur and an enemy of the state.”
