The Kano State Commissioner of Police, Mohammed Usaini Gumel, stated that Governor Abba Kabir Yusuf has resolved the royal conflict in the state.
He made this announcement during a press conference held at Government House, Kano, on Sunday evening.
Explaining the role of the police in the emirship dispute, Gumel stated that the police would enforce the law.
He also mentioned that security forces had discovered a plan to cause chaos in the state, targeting specific locations, including the House of Assembly.
He said, “Today, we are here to address you on one very key issue that has to do with the security situation in the state which you and all of us have been managing together since the issue around the chieftaincy affairs in the State started.
“We have received credible information about miscreants trying to unleash terror at locations, particularly the House of Assembly and other key places within the state. It has been verified by so many sources.
“Anybody who wants to test the ground, the security has the capacity to deal with the miscreants. We have perfected plans to embark on serious patrols and detection on locations where we are informed the miscreants are hiding.
“We are going to embark on house-to-house search; anybody who feels he is stronger than the law should try it. Kano will remain safe and nobody can override the decision.
“The issue of chieftaincy affairs has been perfected by the executive arm of government. We are standing by the law and we are strictly going to enforce the existing law.”
Gumel, who had previously warned troublemakers to stay away from the conflict, vowed that the law would catch up with anyone who challenges the resolve of the security forces.
