Gov Yusuf cautions judges against indiscriminate release of criminals in Kano
Governor Abba Kabir Yusuf of Kano State has cautioned judges against unwarranted release of thugs arrested for violence, saying it contributes to the increase in crimes and criminality.
The governor underscored the threat of frequent release of arrested thugs and other criminals to the wellbeing of the state’s residents, stressing the importance of prompt and equitable dispensation of justice, rather than releasing them prematurely.
In the same vein, the governor also asked security agencies in the state to promptly bring an end to thuggery and other criminal activities that are disrupting peace in specific areas of the Kano metropolis.
Governor Yusuf gave the directives at the commencement of the 15th weekly meeting of the Kano State Executive Council held at the Government House on Saturday.
He expressed disapproval of the recent upsurge in thuggery and clashes involving Yan Daba, affirming that the government will not passively observe while unscrupulous elements endanger the relative tranquillity and harmony enjoyed by law-abiding citizens of the state.
He avowed that the state government is diligently collaborating with relevant security agencies to ensure the safety and security of the populace and their possessions at all times.

Edo guber: LP’s Akpata remains a front runner, set to capture Edo
By Kayode Sanni-Arewa
Less than twenty-four hours to the start of voting in Saturday’s governorship poll in Edo State, a rash of fake news has broken out.
Leading parties in the election have had their fair shares of fake news either indicating the withdrawal of their candidates or disqualification by a Magistrate Court or Supreme Court.
For instance, Olumide Akpata of LP was said to have withdrawn from the race and thrown his support for Asue Ighodalo in a statement that read smoothly and appeared convincing.
THE CONCLAVE sent the statement to Akpata via WhatsApp for confirmed.
He responded by sending the same statement with FAKE NEWS boldly stamped on it.
He said he was set for victory at the poll.
There was also a news flash about the Supreme Court disqualifying Asue Ighodalo of the Peoples Democratic Party, with a sign off: More details coming….
A Magistrate Court in Abuja was also reported to have disqualified Monday Okpebholo of the APC from the poll on account of age falsification.
The APC campaign organisation had swiftly put a lie to the report by deploying the court papers in the circumstance.
