Kano Police Enforces 72-Hour Notice for Horse Riding Events

The Kano State Police Command has mandated that any individual, institution, or organization wishing to organize horse or animal-riding activities in public spaces must provide a written notice at least 72 hours in advance. This announcement was made by Commissioner of Police Ibrahim Bakori during a press briefing at the command headquarters in Bompai, Kano.

The requirement is part of resolutions from a joint security meeting aimed at enhancing coordination among security agencies and ensuring public safety. Bakori reiterated that the state government's ban on Durbar processions and horse-riding activities remains in effect, warning residents against violating this directive.

He explained that the advance notice would allow police to conduct necessary security assessments and make appropriate arrangements. Bakori also noted that security threats prompting the restrictions have not diminished, and compliance with security directives is essential for maintaining public order.
