Joint security agencies, under the leadership of the Kano
Police Commissioner, Muhammad Usaini Gumel, have said they will obey the court
order issued by a Federal High Court stopping the Kano State government from
reinstating Emir Muhammadu Sanusi II.
The Police Commissioner, Muhammad Usaini Gumel, alongside
other top security officers of the military, the DSS and others, warned that
they would not allow anybody to break peace and unity of the State using what
is happening in the Emirate Council.
He said, “our joint security resolved to keep peace in Kano,
and the development surrounding the Emirates Council; the Police Command
respects the court order, alongside other security agencies and we have
resolved to ensure that we keep peace in the state.”
He said the order of arresting the dethroned Emir Bayero has
not been transmitted to the police command as they only read it on social
media.
He added that they would not be compelled by anybody to
carry out any assignment.
“As far as the situation of the Emirate is concerned, we
recognize the Emir who was there as stated by the Court, and we are only
respecting Court orders which says status quo should be maintained and that is
where we stay and stand,” he added.
The Police Commissioner added that, “the position of law is
very clear that whoever tries to cause problems will be arrested without
hesitation.
“Miscreants are are advised to stay away from causing havoc
in the State, as the safety of the people remain sacrosanct.”
