The Kano State Police Command has suspended the traditional Tashe performance during Ramadan to prevent the spread of criminality.
The decision followed consultations with the State Government.
This was contained in a statement issued by the Spokesperson of the command, Abdullahi Kiyawa, in Kano on Sunday.
The command has put in place security measures to tackle such activities and ensure a peaceful Ramadan period.
Its Commissioner, CP Ibrahim Bakori, urged parents, guardians, and the general public to cooperate with the police by guarding their children and wards against engaging in any form of activity that may breach law and order.
Bakori said: “Anyone found violating the law will face the full consequences of their action.
“The command wishes the people of Kano State a happy and successful Ramadan fasting.”
Kiyawa, a Chief Superintendent of Police, said for emergency situations, people should contact: 08032419754, 08123821575, 08076091271, 09029292926 or log into the “NPF Rescue Me” Application available on the Play Store.
