Emirate power tussle: Police uncovers plot to set Kano Assembly on fire

In the midst of the contentious events surrounding the Kano Emirate dispute, security authorities in Kano State revealed on Sunday night that they have discovered plans to incite chaos and cause widespread destruction.

While addressing the press, CP Usaini Gumel, accompanied by leaders of security agencies such as DSS and NSCDC, revealed that they had discovered plans to carry out an assault on the Kano State House of Assembly and various significant sites in the state.

He said, “We have uncovered credible intelligence about some group of people who are considered as enemies of the state and miscreants who are trying to unleash terror in the state by embarking on targeted attacks at locations, particularly the House of Assembly and some prominent locations within the state capital. This intelligence has been verified by so many sources.

“We have perfected plans to embark on serious patrols as well as detections particularly areas where we were informed that the miscreants are hiding. No hiding place for them.

“Whoever, under whatever guise is found to be planning to disrupt the peace being enjoyed in the State or feel that he/she can jeopardize the existing security settings in the State will be arrested and made to face the full wrath of the law.

“We are going to embark on a house-to-house search for anybody who they are above the law,”
