Kano State Governor, Abba Kabir Yusuf, has called on President Bola Ahmed Tinubu to sack the state’s Commissioner of Police, Ibrahim Adamu Bakori, accusing him of insubordination and undermining his authority as Chief Security Officer of the state.
Governor Yusuf made the demand during an event marking Nigeria’s 65th Independence Anniversary at Kofar Mata Stadium in Kano.
According to the governor, police officers under CP Bakori’s command failed to provide security at the ceremony despite his direct instructions to the commissioner.
“The Commissioner of Police has 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.”
He stressed that CP Bakori’s conduct was unacceptable and posed 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.
