Monday, October 5, 2026 - The Kano State Police Command has arrested five people for allegedly destroying billboards and posters of President Bola Ahmed Tinubu and Governor Abba Yusuf in the state.
The Commissioner of Police, Ibrahim Adamu Bakori, disclosed
this while answering questions from journalists on security measures and the
enforcement of the ban on public horse-riding in Kano.
The suspects were arrested following investigations into the
destruction of properties during tensions surrounding horse-riding and public
processions in the state.
He said investigations had been concluded and the suspects
had been charged to court, adding that the command would continue to take legal
action against anyone found to have committed offences capable of threatening
public peace.
The arrests followed a public outing by the Emir of Kano,
Aminu Ado Bayero, on Sunday.
The commissioner said reports indicated that some of those
accompanying the emir allegedly destroyed posters and billboards belonging to
President Tinubu, Governor Abba Kabir Yusuf and other politicians.
He said the incident further heightened tensions amid the
lingering Kano Emirate dispute.
