On the directive of the Commissioner of Police, Kano State Command, CP Ibrahim Adamu Bakori, PhD, SFIPMA, MNIM, MNIPS, MASIS, the said Hon. Aminu Abdullahi Warkal was invited to the Command Headquarters, Bompai, Kano. He is currently at the Command's State Intelligence Department (SID) and investigation is in progress.

The Commissioner of Police strongly warns that the Command will not tolerate any act of lawlessness, thuggery, or display of weapons capable of threatening public peace, irrespective of the status of the person involved.

He further advises members of the public, particularly political gladiators, their supporters and other stakeholders, to conduct themselves peacefully and abide strictly by the provisions of the Electoral Act, the Fi****ms Act and other extant laws of the land. All political activities must be conducted in a manner that promotes peace, tolerance and respect for the rule of law.

The Kano State Police Command reiterates its commitment to protecting lives and property and ensuring that the State remains peaceful before, during and after the political season.

PRESS BRIEFING BY THE COMMISSIONER OF POLICE, KANO STATE POLICE COMMAND, CP IBRAHIM ADAMU BAKORI, PhD, SFIPMA, MNIM, MNIPS, MASIS, ON THE ENFORCEMENT OF BAN ON ALL FORMS OF HORSE/ANIMAL-RIDING IN THE STATE; HELD AT THE BOMPAI POLICE HEADQUARTERS, KANO, ON FRIDAY, 2ND OCTOBER, 2026

Gentlemen of the Press,

On behalf of the Law Enforcement and Security Agencies in Kano State, I warmly welcome you to the Bompai Police Headquarters and thank you for honouring our invitation at short notice.

2. It would be recalled that the Kano State Government, after due consultations with relevant security stakeholders in the state and in its efforts to preserve public peace and order in the State, recently pronounced a ban on all forms of Durbar and Horse-riding activities throughout the State. Reports indicate apparent breaches of these security directives.

3. The Kano State Police Command in conjunction with relevant Security Agencies in the State hereby reiterate, that these executive security directives so issued regarding the ban on Durbar/Horse-riding activities, are still in force and binding on all persons in the State, irrespective of status or position. The threats which necessitated the ban were put to serious checks and are still potent.

4. As you are aware, the primary responsibility of the Law Enforcement and Security Agencies is the maintenance of public peace, safety and order. We cannot afford to allow any act that will breach the peace and jeopardize public safety.

5. For the avoidance of doubt, in order to strengthen security coordination and to ensure proper security coverage, this Joint Security Meeting has resolved as follows:

That any person, institution or organization that deems it very pertinent to undertake any form of Durbar, and/or Horse/Animal-Riding activity in public place in the State is required to give at least 72 hours prior notice in writing to the Kano State Police Command through the Office of the State Commissioner of Police, to enable necessary security assessment and arrangements for public safety and order.

6. All concerned are therefore urged to comply strictly with all lawful security directives and to cooperate with the security agencies.

7. I want to assure the good people of Kano State that the Law Enforcement Agencies remain resolute, united and committed to enforcing the law and safeguarding public peace and order in the State.

8. Thank you.
