Police Arrest 30 Hoodlums Trying To Disrupt Kano Mass Wedding

 The Kano Police Command on Monday said it arrested no fewer than 30 suspected hoodlums who were trying to disrupt the mass wedding organized by the Kano State Government at the Government House over the weekend.

Naija News recalls that at the weekend, the Kano State conducted a mass wedding ceremony for about 1,800 couples under its mass wedding scheme.

The Kano State Commissioner of Police, Mohammed Usaini Gumel, on Monday, made this revelation after he met with Divisional Police Officers (DPOs) and Tactical Team leaders.

The Commissioner said most of the 30 hoodlums who were arrested during the event came from neighboring states and had intentions of disrupting the event.

He said some of them were caught with master keys, among other items, to aid them in stealing at the event.

The Kano CP told pressmen, “I assure you that Kano is safe, and it will continue to be safe. During the Mass Wedding over the weekend, some people wanted to disrupt the event, but we did not allow that to happen.

“Thirty criminals who came with the intention to disrupt the event were arrested. On interrogation, we discovered that most of them came from neighbouring states.

“Some of them came with Master Keys with the intention to steal vehicles, but their plans were aborted. You saw how we were able to secure lives and properties during the big event. Nobody complained. That is to show you that we are on track.”

Gumel urged residents and visitors to move about their businesses without fear, saying that “Kano is a peaceful state. People should feel free to visit Kano.”
