The Zamfara State Police Command
has beefed up security around the Emir of Shinkafi, Alhaji Muhammad Makwashi.
This is to forestall breakdown of
law and order over traditional title of Sadauki (Defender) conferred on former
Minister of Aviation, Femi Fani-Kayode, by the emirate council.
Police Public Relations Officer,
SP Mohammed Shehu, spoke to the News Agency of Nigeria (NAN) in Gusau on
Sunday.
He said the Emir’s security was
improved since Friday, after the emirate learned that some people were planning
to lead a demonstration within Shinkafi.
Shehu disclosed that officials
wrote to the Police Command seeking protection and to avert violence.
The PPRO noted that patrol teams
are around Shinkafi area so that peace and order can be maintained.
“The Commissioner of Police, Mr.
Usman Nagogo has always warned people from taking the law into their own hands.
“If anyone has grudges against
any other person or persons, there are established legal channels to take such
grudges to, including going to the courts. We will not allow anyone to cause
trouble,” he explained.
Shehu clarified that what was
happening in Shinkafi was not “house arrest” of Makwashi as being speculated
but protection.
