House of Representatives panel
has recommended that the Inspector-General of Police, Ibrahim Idris, should
redeploy the Kano State Commissioner of Police, Rabiu Yusuf to another state
with immediate effect.
They said this was owing to his
alleged partisanship in dealing with the supporters of Governor Abdullahi Umar
Ganduje and Senator Rabiu Musa Kwankwaso.
The panel chaired by Rep. Toby
Okechukwu was constituted by the House in February following the adoption of a
motion by Aliyu Sani Madaki to the effect that some men of the Special
Anti-Robbery Squad (SARS) invaded the residence of a member loyal to Kwankwaso.
In the committee’s report laid on
the floor of the House on Friday, there were eight recommendations which
included that the police authorities in Kano State should desist from being
partisan and must strive to restore cordial relationship among the political
class and the people of the state.
The panel said in the report,
“Redeploying the current commissioner of police and posting a new commissioner
of police to the state will allow a fresh, healthy and peaceful relationship
within the political class in the state and create the enabling environment for
peace to thrive.”
The panel also said “officers
from the Special Anti-Robbery Squad (SARS), Ikeja, Lagos, breached due process
when they invaded the residence of Hon. Sani Mohammed Aliyu Rano in Nasarawa
Quarters without procuring a valid search warrant.
“The affected officers also
breached due process when they invaded and searched the residence of Rano’s
daughter in Naibawa Quarters, Kano State, without a valid search warrant.
“The committee said the affected
officers should be made to face appropriate sanctions by the police authorities
for their actions.”
