CP Gumel detailed the security measures being taken to counteract these threats, including house-to-house searches to apprehend those plotting unrest. He emphasized the commitment to maintaining peace and order in the state:

“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,” CP Gumel stated.

Reliable sources indicated that the miscreants had been mobilized and paid to create chaos and tension in the state. Targeted areas include the residence of the Majority Leader of the assembly, Lawan Hussaini, who sponsored the repealed law, and a member representing Gwale among others.

This development follows the resignation of the Kano State Assembly Speaker and the Majority Leader, adding to the heightened tensions and political instability in the region.
