Kano Police Enforce Durbar Ban for Public Safety

The Commissioner of Police, CP Ibrahim Adamu Bakori, announced the continuation of the ban on durbar and horse riding events in Kano State during a press briefing at the police command's headquarters in Bompai. This ban was implemented by the state government following consultations with relevant security agencies to maintain public peace and order.

Bakori expressed concern over reported violations of this directive, emphasizing that the security issues that led to the ban persist. He stated that any individuals, institutions, or organizations wishing to hold durbar or horse riding activities in public must submit written requests to the police command at least 72 hours before the event.

Bakori urged compliance from residents and event organizers, assuring them of the commitment of the police and security agencies to protect lives and property in the state.
