Five individuals have been apprehended by the Kano State Police Command for allegedly defacing billboards and posters of political figures, including President Bola Ahmed Tinubu and Governor Abba Kabir Yusuf. Commissioner of Police Ibrahim Adamu Bakori announced the arrests while discussing security measures and the prohibition on public horse-riding in Kano.
The suspects were identified through investigations into the destruction of property during recent tensions surrounding horse-riding and public processions. The suspects have been formally charged, and police intend to pursue legal action against anyone found to have committed offenses that may jeopardize public safety. The arrests followed a public appearance by the Emir of Kano, Aminu Ado Bayero, on Sunday, with reports suggesting that some attendees to his event destroyed political posters and billboards, further exacerbating tensions following the ongoing Kano Emirate dispute.
