No fewer than eight persons have been arrested by the Kano State Police Command for attempting to disrupt the inauguration of the four newly appointed commissioners at the Government House on Thursday.
The state Police Commissioner, Usaini Gumel who confirmed the arrest on Friday, said the suspected thugs posed a security threat at the Government House while the inauguration ceremony was ongoing at the Council Chambers.
“Enough of clusters of “Yan Jagaliya” (thugs) loitering around Government House, Audu Bako Secretariat, similar offices and disrupting government activities.
“The leader of the eight thugs being unrepentant and without remorse led his team to the venue again until he and his members met their waterloo of being apprehended by the crime prevention patrol team after sustained vigilance.
“The suspected thugs constituted themselves as a pressure group and supporters of one of the infamous politicians attempted to cause the breakdown of law and order at the venue,” Gumel said.
