ZAAR FESTIVAL: Police to uphold court order and ban 2024 Zaar festival


…as the Commissioner of Police Bauchi State Command announces proactive measures to ensure community safety and harmony


In light of the High Court’s decision, the Bauchi State Police Command would like to inform the public that the 2024 Zaar Festival, originally scheduled for November 2, 2024, has been suspended following a court restraining order issued on October 30, 2024. This decision follows an earlier suspension announced on September 27, 2024.


Historically, the Zaar Festival has been associated with incidents of conflict, resulting in attacks on individuals, damage to property, and disruption of public order. Consequently, the organizers of the festival, along with any individuals involved, are prohibited from conducting any related processions in Tafawa Balewa, Bogoro Local Government Area, or any other location, until a definitive court ruling is rendered


The Command values the cultural significance of such festivals and remains committed to facilitating opportunities for celebration that does not compromise public safety. We are actively engaging with all stakeholders to explore alternative ways to honour these traditions constructively.


The State Command emphasizes the importance of adhering to this court order and ensuring peace in the community. The Command encourage parents, guardians, and community leaders to guide their wards towards positive engagement and discourage any actions that could lead to unrest.


We appreciate the public’s cooperation and understanding as we prioritize the safety and well-being of our citizens.
