The Supreme Court had reserved judgement on the exercise for today, and hours before the delivery of the verdict, the Kano Police Command says it is ready to clampdown on those plotting mayhem before, during, and after the judgement.
During a press conference yesterday, the Kano Police Commissioner Mohammed Gumel said parties in the case have also agreed to abide by the decision of the apex court.
To match his words with action, security operatives comprising the police, Nigeria Security and Civil Defence Corps, NSCDC and others have been deployed to strategic points in the state.
The warning is coming months after the Kano election petitions tribunal sacked Governor Kabir Yusuf of the New Nigeria Peoples Party, NNPP and declared the All Progressives Congress, APC, Nasir Gawuna as the winner of the March 2023 election.
While Governor Yusuf challenged the decision, the court of appeal upheld the tribunal’s ruling. But dissatisfied, he challenged the verdict at the Supreme Court.
