Kwankwaso Knocks Police For Raising ‘False Terrorist Alarm’ In Kano

 

Former presidential candidate, Rabiu Musa Kwankwaso, has accused the Kano State Command of the Nigeria Police Force of acting in an unprofessional manner.

 

Kwankwaso, accused the Kano Police Command of issuing a false security alert in an attempt to prevent the Tijjaniyya Sufi Order’s annual Maulud celebration from taking place.

 

According to him, the action not only jeopardized the success of the gathering, but put the lives of the people of the state at risk.

Recall that Kano Police had, on Friday, issued a terror alert on the eve of the planned gathering of the celebration scheduled for the Sani Abacha Stadium, saying terrorists planned to attack public gatherings in the state.

 

However, Kwankwaso, in a reaction on Monday via his account on the X platform, said the Police took a partisan decision by allowing itself to be used by the federal government in dabbling into the affairs of Kano State.

He said the alert issued by the Police turned out to be false and left a bad impression about the conduct, integrity, and activities of the Police.
