The Kano State Government has urged the authorities to apprehend former Governor Dr. Abdullahi Umar Ganduje, following his recent statement about forming a militia group in the state. This call was made by State Commissioner for Information, Ibrahim Abdullahi Waiya, during a press briefing on the outcome of the state’s executive council meeting.

According to Commissioner Waiya, the former governor’s statement was made less than 48 hours before bandits infiltrated a community in Kano, abducting several individuals. The commissioner highlighted the state government’s concern over the potential link between the former governor’s statement and the subsequent security incident.

The Kano State Government has acknowledged the efforts of President Bola Ahmed Tinubu to ensure the security of lives and property in the state. Commissioner Waiya emphasized the importance of maintaining law and order, particularly in the face of rising security challenges.

The call for the former governor’s arrest comes amidst growing concerns over the security situation in Kano State. The recent abduction incident has raised fears among residents, and the state government is under pressure to take decisive action to prevent further attacks.

The Kano State Government has assured citizens that it is working closely with security agencies to address the security challenges facing the state. The government has also urged residents to remain vigilant and report any suspicious activities to the authorities.

In the meantime, the situation in Kano State remains tense, with many calling for increased security measures to protect lives and property. The state government’s decision to seek the arrest of the former governor is seen as a significant step towards addressing the security concerns in the state. As the situation continues to unfold, the people of Kano State await further developments and reassurances from the government that their safety is a top priority.
