Despite this seeming setback, my administration will ever remain focused on its strategy of disarmament.
A single bullet in the hands of the non-state rogue elements could result in severe harm to the innocent.

I appeal to the people of the state to remain calm and resist the evil machinations of those who would want to exploit the current situation to achieve political ends.
Insha Allah, with our collective resolve, we would emerge out of this situation stronger.
“I call on people to be more security conscious and report any suspicious individuals or activities to the relevant authorities.”
“efforts to strengthen security around our schools, I have directed the immediate closure of all boarding secondary schools across the State”.
“While we remain appreciative of the efforts by the Federal Government in the fight against banditry and other criminal activities in the State, I wish to appeal for more support towards combatting this challenge”.

Prominent Kano Politician Ibrahim Little Sues Danagundi, Ibn Sina Over Hisbah Establishment
A chieftain and leader of the African Democratic Congress (ADC) in Kano State, Alhaji Ibrahim Ali Amin “Little,” has filed a legal action at the Kano State High Court challenging the establishment of an Independent Hisbah body in the state.
It will be recalled that Little had earlier written to the concerned parties, urging them to suspend the move in the interest of peace and stability in the state. A copy of the letter, addressed to former Governor Abdullahi Umar Ganduje, was also sent to the Governor of Kano State, Abba Kabir Yusuf; Baffa Babba Danagundi; Haruna Ibn Sina; and the Department of State Services (DSS).
According to his Executive Assistant and Media Aide, Adnan Mukhtar, Little decided to seek legal redress following what he described as the respondents’ persistence and insistence on proceeding with the establishment of the Independent Hisbah.
“Dissatisfied with their recent actions and continued insistence on moving forward with the establishment process, Little approached the Kano State High Court to seek redress,” Mukhtar said.
Those listed as respondents in the suit include the Speaker of the Kano State House of Assembly, the Kano State House of Assembly, the Attorney General of Kano State, the Kano State Hisbah Board, Baffa Babba Danagundi, and Haruna Ibn Sina.
In an official statement posted on his Facebook page, Little said:
“I have today instructed my lawyers to file an action challenging the establishment of an Independent Hisbah in Kano State. This follows my recent letter to the parties concerned and their insistence on proceeding with the establishment of the Independent Hisbah.
“I believe this move is an attempt to disrupt our peaceful coexistence at a time when the state is facing security challenges.
“The peace of Kano State remains our utmost priority.
Kano Sabuwa, In sha Allahu.”
