Gov. Yusuf urges security agencies to end thuggery in Kano
Kano State, Abba Kabir-Yusuf, on Saturday, urged security agencies to end thuggery in Kano metropolis.
Mr Yusuf, who stated this during the State Executive Council meeting in Kano, decried the recent surge in thuggery and clashes between miscreants locally called “Yan Daba” in parts of the metropolis.
The governor said that his administration would not condone acts capable of disrupting the peace and security of the state.
He tasked judges to ensure speedy and fair trial of the suspected thugs, and warned against the release of thugs who pose a threat to the residents.
Urging security agencies to focus on their primary responsibility to protect lives and property, Mr Yusuf urged the people to contribute towards maintaining law and order in the state.
