The statement reads “It’s an accepted fact that there’s freedom of information but it’s also an acceptable fact to deeply and intelligently verify before making a summary from the surface not from the root angle.
The organization came with an analysis of rising insecurity and also points at thuggery which has been the fight of the current administration and the gallant Commissioner of police who says Capital No to crime in Kano State and is unbiased.
The Commissioner of Police in Kano State Command has received an award from the National on how he strategies and implements all mechanisms in addressing crimes and criminalities in Kano State Command and the approach has been very successful as we recorded fewer crimes in a few numbers not as it was randomly.
Thuggery activities that our brothers, sisters, children, and neighbors are involved in with the support of Higher profile personalities and a few parents, it’s become things of the past in Kano State since the commissioner of police took over sit.
In the recent fighting among the Yan-daba in the area in question, Our gallant commissioner of police was at the community and also engaged all critical stakeholders in a meeting to rise to the task together and bring an end to all arising conflicts due to thuggery activities.
The police Boss swung into action by arresting Six (6) persons on Monday with immediate effect and currently about twenty-two persons connected to the crimes are under police custody for proper investigation and prosecution.
The police Boss of Kano State Command gave a serious warning to parents, guardians, or Godfathers to stay far away from intruding into police investigation by demanding the bail of the suspects until the investigation is concluded.
He promised that anyone who would come for the suspect’s bail would dance to the music as well because it’s improper to disallow professionals from executing their professional activities due to selfish interests and personal gain.
The current administration is working with all hands on deck to see how lives and properties are properly secured, but that can’t be achieved if critical stakeholders fold their arms and watch the menace eating everyone unchallenged.

We want to call the organization to look critically before sending information that will mislead society.
Our security deserves our prayers, support, and intelligence gathering to work credibly and get better results.
Lastly, the government and police have also been engaging most of these hardened citizens in total reformation and rehabilitation by making them better citizens and providing jobs or skills that will sustain them.
As an organization, you can do more through the reasons why you formed an organization for a better society, especially through sensitization than condemning security works at this critical time when tension is everywhere and all expectations are on security when it happens.
