Ganduje reveals why Kano State doesn't need another security outfit

Governor Abdullahi Ganduje of Kano State has said that the state does not need another security outfit in addition to the one on presently available and recognized by Law.

Ganduje made this known when he was paid a visit by the Assistant Inspector General of Police, Zone One, AIG Sadiq Abubakar Bello, the Commissioner of Police, Kano Command, CP Habu Sani, and other police officers at the Government House in Kano on Sunday.

“We do not intend to come forth with any security outfit. People who are not trained and who do not even understand how security works. You just cannot give what you like to people in the name of security outfit. Just like that,” he argued.

Expressing satisfaction over the way the security agencies are conducting themselves in the state, Ganduje said, “They all work together with a common purpose in all fronts. They all involve in the security management of the state. We are always using our Control Centre to look at and fish out black spot"

He added that part of the effort put in place involves Close Circut Cameras placed in strategic locations.

“How can you bring forth something and at the end of the day, the same thing becomes a security threat to the people and society? So, we don’t want what will turn to become another security challenge,” he asked rhetorically.

“The Hisbah we have in place are working all in synergy with Police. They are being guided by Police and other security agencies, as the case may be. We don’t see them as separate security entity. They, like any other individual, help security agents to work very well.

“With the good synergy and good working relationship among all our security agencies, coupled with Allah’s Guidance and Blessing, Kano is now the most peaceful state in the federation. Your coming to me shows that you really mean business in securing your area of jurisdiction. That is Kano, Katsina and Jigawa States.”

This come just days after a Coalition of Northern Groups, CNG, launched a security outfit called Shege Ka Fasa to help protect the Northern region from banditry and kidnapping.
