Police Ready for Peaceful Protest in Kano – CP
By Milcah Tanimu
The state commissioner of police, Mr Hussaini Gumel, told the News Agency of Nigeria (NAN) in Kano that proactive security measures had already been adopted to ensure peaceful and orderly protests in all parts of the state.
He said the deployment was in recognition of right to peaceful protest, in line with extant laws, as a fundamental right of citizens.
Gumel explained that an operational order for the personnel had been issued to area commanders, tactical commanders, and divisional police officers across the 44 local government areas of the state.
He said the command was working with other security agencies in the state to ensure the crisis-free movements of those who wanted to protest.
“We have mobilised sufficient armed personnel to provide security at all flashpoints, including political party offices, banks, commercial areas, recreation centres, and motor parks, before, during, and after the protest.
“I am giving 100 per cent assurance to all law-abiding residents of the state to go about freely with their legitimate daily activities without threat to lives and property,” the commissioner said.
He said armed security personnel would be in all identified strategic locations in different parts of the state, to ensure surveillance duties and provide physical security during the protest.
The commissioner expressed optimism that security measures already put in place would promote peaceful coexistence among the residents during and after the protest.
He said that the command would not tolerate any form of violence during and after the protest, as officers were on red alert to confront any form of security threat in and outside the metropolis.
”We call upon those that want to protest to go about it in a civilised manner, as our professional security personnel would carefully monitor the entire exercise. (NAN)

Investigations by Nigerian Concord Newspaper reveal that the Executive Secretary of the Nigerian Shippers Council, Mr. Pius Akutah, has allegedly misappropriated public funds for a lavish lifestyle.
According to our findings, within months of assuming office, Akutah allegedly purchased a bulletproof SUV valued at approximately N850 million. In addition, he is reported to have acquired over twenty exotic SUVs for use as a convoy.
Akutah is also said to have acquired multiple high-value properties, including three in Abuja’s Maitama and Asokoro districts worth over N2 billion, and two in Lagos’ Banana Island valued at N1.8 billion. These acquisitions appear far beyond the scope of his official salary and allowances.
Further investigation suggests that Akutah may be using public funds to support political ambitions, including allegedly grooming militants across 23 local government areas in Benue State for a potential 2027 gubernatorial bid.
Staff of the Shippers Council reportedly claim that Akutah frequently accesses the council’s treasury without proper authorization. Some insiders have indicated that a petition will soon be filed with the EFCC, ICPC, and the Presidency to report his alleged misconduct.
