Kano creates task force for security in motor parks, others 

Kano State Governor Abba Kabir Yusuf has approved the immediate establishment of a Special Task Force to tackle security threats at motor parks and other strategic public spaces across the state.

The governor’s media aide Sunusi DawakinTofa, said this in a statement, explaning that the decision underscores the governor’s firm resolve to prevent criminal infiltration in the state, particularly at key entry and exit points within the metropolitan area.

He said, “Motor parks have been identified as high-risk locations due to increased human movement and recent security developments, including the arrest of suspected miscreants at Kofar Ruwa Motor Park.

“The task force will conduct intensive surveillance, intelligence gathering, and coordinated security operations at motor parks and other vulnerable locations.

“Its operations will also extend to ancillary areas such as filling stations and public spaces where transient populations often congregate”.

Yusuf was quoted to have said that the measure is a proactive step aimed at neutralising threats before they escalate, strengthening inter-agency coordination, and restoring public confidence.
