Kano Governor Moves Against State Police Commissioner Full Details

Governor Abba Kabir Yusuf has accused Kano State Police Commissioner, Ibrahim Adamu Bakori, of insubordination and undermining his role as the state’s Chief Security Officer.

The governor made the call for Bakori’s removal on Wednesday, October 1, during Nigeria’s 65th Independence Day celebrations at the Kofar Mata Stadium in Kano.

Visibly angered, Yusuf alleged that officers under Bakori’s command deliberately withdrew security from the event, despite what he described as clear and direct instructions given to the commissioner.

“The Commissioner of Police has embarrassed us with his conduct. His actions are unprofessional, unethical, and unbecoming of a security chief on such a historic occasion for Kano and for Nigeria,” Yusuf declared.

He stressed that Bakori’s behaviour was unacceptable and detrimental to effective security coordination in the state.

“On behalf of myself as Chief Security Officer and on behalf of the good people of Kano State, I urge President Bola Ahmed Tinubu to remove CP Ibrahim Adamu Bakori immediately,” he insisted.

The governor’s remarks overshadowed the Independence Day festivities, which had attracted a large turnout at the stadium.

As of the time of reporting, neither the police command nor federal authorities had responded to Yusuf’s demand.
