Kano State Governor, Abba Yusuf, has called for the removal of the state Commissioner of Police, Ibrahim Bakori, following his absence and the withdrawal of police personnel from the 65th Independence Day celebration in Kano.
Speaking at the Sani Abacha Stadium during the anniversary parade, Yusuf expressed disappointment over the commissioner’s conduct, describing it as “unprofessional” and “disloyal.”
“As you can see, on this historic Independence anniversary of Nigeria, the Commissioner of Police decided to pull out of the parade along with his personnel,” the governor said.
Yusuf condemned what he termed partisan behaviour by security agencies, warning that such actions were detrimental to peace and order in the state.
“Today, every Nigerian is happy to celebrate the independence of this country. And we insist on it, because we know Kano is peaceful. The good people of Kano are peace-loving people. But security agencies in Kano, in particular, shouldn’t be involving themselves in partisan politics, which will do no good to all of us in Kano State and in Nigeria,” he stated.
The governor urged the federal authorities to take immediate action to ensure professionalism within the security sector in Kano.
