Insecurity: Kano gov sets up taskforce to secure motor parks, others

Kano State Governor, Alhaji Abba Kabir Yusuf, has approved the immediate establishment of a special task force to strengthen security at motor parks and other strategic public spaces across the state.

The decision was contained in a statement issued on Sunday by the governor’s spokesperson, Sunusi Bature Dawakin Tofa.

According to the statement, the move is part of the state government’s proactive efforts to prevent criminal infiltration and safeguard Kano, particularly at major entry and exit points within the metropolitan area.

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

The task force is expected to carry out intensive surveillance, intelligence gathering and coordinated security operations at motor parks and other vulnerable locations. Its mandate will also cover ancillary areas such as filling stations and other public spaces where transient populations frequently congregate.

Governor Yusuf said the initiative is aimed at neutralising security threats before they escalate, improving inter-agency collaboration and restoring public confidence.

He reiterated his administration’s zero-tolerance policy on criminal activities and assured that the state government would continue to provide full support to security agencies in their efforts to protect lives and property in Kano State.
