The Kano State Police Command has deployed additional armed security personnel to the two palaces housing the contending emirs in the Local Government Areas of the state.
The outgoing Kano State Commissioner of Police, AIG Usaini Gumel, confirmed this in the early hours of Monday, June 24, 2024.
“Equipped and armed personnel have been deployed to the palaces to handle any unforeseen circumstances around the identified areas,” Gumel said.
He stated that the deployment aims to prevent security threats and maintain a peaceful atmosphere pending the outcome of the Emirship tussle.

The police commissioner, however, appealed for public support and urged residents to provide information that could aid in maintaining peace, progress, and political stability.
“The command is committed to providing the required security that will enable all residents to pursue their legitimate activities without threats to lives and property,” Gumel stressed.
