The Kano State Police Command has appealed to the media for support in navigating the complex emirship tussle amid five conflicting court orders.

The state commissioner of police, Usaini Gumel, made the call during a meeting with the heads of media organisations on Friday in Kano.

Mr Gumel revealed that the command has received five different court orders from federal and state high courts regarding the emirship dispute and has forwarded them to the Minister of Justice for interpretation.

The CP said,” We are currently awaiting guidance on which order to comply with, as the conflicting court directives have created a complex situation.

” Once we receive the necessary interpretation, we will take appropriate action to resolve the emirship dispute in accordance with the law.”

Mr Gumel lamented a radio station’s unprofessional reporting on the issue,  urging the media to verify facts and balance their reports before disseminating them to the public.

The police commissioner emphasised the need for more support from media organisations in reporting events, especially in the emirship tussle.

He encouraged the media to seek clarifications from the police before publishing reports to ensure accuracy and avoid aggravating the situation.
