The Kano State Governor, Abba Kabir Yusuf, has called on President Bola Ahmed Tinubu to remove the state Commissioner of Police, CP Ibrahim Adamu Bakori, accusing him of defying lawful orders and undermining his authority as the state’s Chief Security Officer.

Governor Yusuf made the call during an event to commemorate Nigeria’s 65th Independence Anniversary held at Kofar Mata Stadium in Kano metropolis.

Expressing displeasure, the governor alleged that police officers under CP Bakori’s command withdrew from providing security at the ceremony, despite clear instructions he personally issued to the commissioner.

“The Commissioner of Police have embarrassed us by his conduct,” Yusuf said. “His action is unprofessional, unethical, and contrary to what is expected of a security chief on such a historic day for the people of Kano and indeed for Nigeria as a whole.”

The governor insisted that the commissioner’s behavior was unacceptable; stressing that his continued presence in Kano poses a challenge to effective coordination of security in the state.

“On behalf of myself as chief security officer, and on behalf of the good people of Kano state, I call on President Bola Ahmed Tinubu to remove CP Ibrahim Adamu Bakori, Today.” Yusuf declared.
