Kano Govt summons commissioner of Police for disobeying “Legitimate Instructions”

Government of Kano state has called out commissioner of police for disobeying the “legitimate instructions” of Governor Abba Kabir Yusuf.

The state’s Attorney General and Commissioner of Justice, Haruna Isah Dederi, who addressed a press conference at the government house on Saturday, June 15, expressed concern over the actions of the State Police Commissioner, particularly regarding the banning of Eid-el-Kabir festivities. He was accused of taking orders from an unknown source.

Dederi said;

“I am compelled to ask the question: who is usurping the authority of the Commander-in-Chief. Because some people are dishing out directives to security chiefs in the State so much so that the State Police Commissioner without any consultation with the Chief Security Officer of the State or approval from the State Security Council had issued an order banning Eid-el-Kabir festivities in Kano State.

“How can anybody in his right senses ban Sallah festivities in Kano? When did the State Governor cease to be the Chief Security Officer of the State that he will only see such ban on social media? Who is pushing the State Commissioner of Police to usurp the authority of the Governor? It is important to stress that the Commissioner of Police has been consistent in disobeying the legitimate instructions of the Governor as Chief Security Officer, hiding behind orders from above. I ask again, what is the offence of Kano people that the Nigeria Police penciled them for destruction?” [CONTINUE READING HERE]>>>>>
