Thugs Take Over Kano As Newly-posted DIG Michael ‘rejigs’ Security Arrangement - Edoman - 03-23-2019
There is apparent security breach and tension in Kano as thugs were allowed to take over polling units across the state. Credible security source told DAILY NIGERIAN that the existing operational arrangement set by the commissioner of police, Mohammed Wakili, was dislodged on Friday night by the newly posted Deputy Inspector-General of Police Anthony Michael.
The Inspector-General Mohammed Adamu on Thursday deployed five deputy inspectors-general of police to oversee election security in parts of the country where rerun had been scheduled for Saturday.
Mr Adamu also directed zonal assistant inspectors-general and their respective commissioners of police in states where supplementary elections would hold to ensure that adequate security mechanisms are in place towards ensuring a safe and secure environment for the conduct of the elections.
But in Kano, the newly posted DIG was allegedly “compromised” as thugs in hundreds of vehicles were allowed take over polling units in the state after rejigging the operational arrangements, deployment of some police officers loyal to the state government and deployment of fewer personnel to critical areas.Thugs arriving Gama Ward of Nassarawa Local Government Area in droves on Friday, March 22, 2019.

APC Replies PDP "No Reason To Cancel Kano Supplementary Election
The State Chairman of the All Progressives Congress, APC, Alhaji Abdullahi Abbas has said there were no grounds for the cancellation of the rerun election currently going on in the state.
Quote:The opposition party in Kano, Peoples Democratic Party, PDP, had earlier called for the immediate cancellation of the exercise as a result of some irregularities.
But the APC in the state denied all the allegations raised by the PDP chairman, saying the allegations were unfounded.
Abbas said: “The call by the PDP for cancellation of election was uncalled-for because the election is still ongoing.
“INEC should ensure conclusion of the election.
“PDP should wait for the final result of the poll and then take legal action if not satisfied with it. That is what the law provided.
“I think PDP failed to mobilise its people that’s all.”
The APC chairman in the state also urged security personnel to ensure safety of lives and property during and after the poll.
On the allegation of deploying people from Zamfara, Katsina, Kaduna and Kebbi states, Abbas expelled the allegation, saying the population was more than enough to partake in any election.
