The Commissioner of Police in Kano, Sama’ila Shua’ibu-Dikko, has asked officers in the command to be steadfast in fighting crime to secure lives and property.

He made the call on Friday while addressing Area Commanders, Squadron Commanders, Divisional Police Officers, Heads of Departments and other Senior Police officers at the command’s headquarters, Bampai, Kano.

He appreciated the efforts of the personnel in safeguarding the lives and property of the residents.

He noted that the command had been recording tremendous successes in the fight against crimes and urged them not to relent in their efforts in that direction.

Mr Shu’aibu-Dikko directed the officers to continue with robust community policing engagements, constant raids of criminal hideouts and black spots.

He urged them to sustain ‘Operation Puff Adder’, aimed at rapid response to distress calls, intelligence-led, and visibility policing. 

In a related development, Mr Shu’aibu-Dikko inaugurated the Kore Divisional Police Headquarters, which was built and furnished by the Kano state government.
