 Insecurity: Gov. Yusuf Establishes Task Force to  Secure Motor Parks, Ancilliary Spaces in Kano


The Kano State Governor, Alhaji Abba Kabir Yusuf, has approved the immediate establishment of a Special Task Force to decisively tackle security threats at motor parks and other strategic public spaces across the state.


This was contained in a statement signed by the governor’s spokesperson, Sunusi Bature Dawakin Tofa on Sunday. 


The decision underscores the governor’s firm resolve to prevent criminal infiltration and safeguard Kano State, particularly at key entry and exit points within the metropolitan area.


Motor parks have been identified as high-risk locations due to increased human movement and recent security developments, including the arrest of suspected miscreants at Kofar Ruwa Motor Park.


The task force will conduct intensive surveillance, intelligence gathering, and coordinated security operations at motor parks and other vulnerable locations.


Its operations will also extend to ancillary areas such as filling stations and public spaces where transient populations often congregate.


Governor Yusuf said the measure is a proactive step aimed at neutralising threats before they escalate, strengthening inter-agency coordination, and restoring public confidence.


He reaffirmed his administration’s zero-tolerance stance on criminality and its unwavering commitment to fully support security agencies in protecting lives and property.
