Police boycott of Yusuf’s Oct 1 parade poses security risk — Kano govt
['Abba Ihonde']
The Guardian Nigeria News – Nigeria and World News
Kano State Attorney General and Commissioner for Justice, AbdulKarim Maude (SAN), has described the police command’s decision to boycott the Independence Day parade as a security risk that unnecessarily heightened tension in the state.
Yusuf had earlier passed a vote of no confidence in CP Bakori, calling for his immediate removal following the withdrawal of police officers from the Independence Day parade held on Thursday at the Sani Abacha Stadium, Kano.
“The CP stands at the intersection of dual accountability to both the IGP and the Governor.
However, this dual structure has led to conflict in the case of the national day parade, where the CP’s absence resulted in accusations of sabotage and unethical conduct from the Governor.
“This incident highlights the ongoing constitutional debate surrounding the CP’s accountability and its implications for governance, security, and federal balance in Nigeria.
