Kano, Nigeria — November 21, 2025
The Commissioner of Police, Kano State Command, Ibrahim Adamu Bakori, has conducted an on-the-spot assessment of security deployments in the border Local Government Areas of Shanono and Tsanyawa, amid heightened concerns over criminal activities in the region.
According to a statement issued by the Command’s Public Relations Officer, CSP Abdullahi Haruna Kiyawa, the visit was carried out in compliance with directives from the Inspector-General of Police, IGP Kayode Adeolu Egbetokun, to dominate public spaces and counter all forms of criminal threats. The CP’s tour reaffirms the Command’s unwavering commitment to protecting lives and property across Kano State.
The inspection comes on the heels of recent incidents involving abductions and cattle rustling, believed to have been carried out by migrating bandits from neighbouring states. In response, the police have reinforced the area with additional personnel and operational equipment to boost security presence.
During the tour, CP Bakori inspected officers and assets deployed to the affected locations and commended the efforts of the Joint Task Force (JTF) for their role in stabilizing the situation. He urged the personnel to maintain heightened vigilance, remain alert, and continue to demonstrate professionalism in their duties.
While assuring residents of the Command’s relentless efforts to keep Kano safe, CP Bakori reiterated the importance of community partnership in the fight against crime. He encouraged citizens to promptly report any suspicious activities to the nearest security post.
The Commissioner of Police expressed appreciation to the Kano State Government, the Local Government Chairmen of the affected areas, and local community members for their continued support and cooperation. He emphasized that sustained collaboration among security agencies, government authorities, and the public is essential to maintaining peace and ensuring long-term security in the region.
