The Police Command in Kano State said it recorded zero crimes associated with the outcome of the Supreme Court judgement that affirmed the victory of Gov. Abba Yusuf.

The Commissioner of Police, Mr Usaini Gumel, confirmed this to the News Agency of Nigeria (NAN) on Saturday in Kano.

He said that reports from the 44 local government areas of the state indicated that the celebration went on peacefully, without threat to lives or property.

“We are happy that everyone heeds the advice issued by the police command, of which the early hours celebration was held in a hitch-free atmosphere across the state, and until this moment, there is no form of security threat.

“No shop or business premises were vandalised before, during, and after the judgement and during their celebrations in all parts of the state.

He commended residents for cooperating with security operatives deployed and for currently maintaining law and order in the state.

He, however, called on residents to continue to maintain peace and order, particularly by supporting the efforts of the command by providing useful and timely information that would assist in preventing crime and apprehending criminal elements.

He said the security measures would enable residents to move on with their legitimate businesses without any hindrance.

“All we require from the public is timely information on the movement of dubious characters for necessary security action,” Gumel said. (NAN)
