No hiding place for criminals in Kano – CP

The new commissioner of police for Kano State, Habu Sani, has reiterated his commitment to build on the legacies of his predecessor, AIG Ahmed Iliyasu, to rid the state of the remnants of criminal elements, stressing that “there is no hiding place for criminally minded persons in the state.” Sani, who assumed office as the state’s commissioner of police less than a week ago said he is re-strategising to re-activate all crime prevention mechanisms of the command with a view to deal with the impending menace of Daba and other forms of organized crime bedevilling the state. He stated this in his maiden press briefing yesterday.

He said, “I assumed duty on the 20th November, 2019 as the 41st commissioner of police of Kano State command and having received briefs from the departmental heads, the security situation of the state was carefully analysed and critically studied. Each and every area in the state was demographically examined and crime mapped. An action plan has been designed and will be implemented in the fight against all forms of crime and criminality in the state.”

He said he had directed all head of departments, Divisional Police Officers (DPOs), tactical commanders and other supervisory officers and personnel of the command to ensure professionalism in their work with utmost respect for human rights of the citizenry.

Revealing his work plan for addressing drug abuse, kidnapping and emerging cases of missing children, the CP said drug abuse is one of the disturbing trends and that everything possible will be done to address it.
