The Kano State Police Command has expressed concern over increase in the cases of culpable homicide in the state and urged for restraint amongst residents.

Spokesperson of the Command, Abdullahi Kiyawa, in a statement on Friday, attributed the alarming trend to fighting, stabbing with knives, drowning in water, and flood-related deaths resulting to loss of precious lives, leaving families and communities devastated.

Kiyawa said the state’s Commissioner of Police, CP Salman Dogo is deeply concerned about the disturbing development, calling on parents and guardians to prevail on their children and wards against indulging in violent behaviours.

“The Command is deeply concerned about this trend and urges the public to exercise extreme caution and restraint in their daily interactions to prevent such occurrences.

“In this regard, we appeal to parents and guardians to counsel their children and wards on the dangers of engaging in violent behaviour and the consequences of such actions.

“Refrain from carrying dangerous weapons, especially knives, broken bottles, irons, clubs, etc. Avoid traveling or moving around during heavy rainfall and flooding,” the Command counselled.

While urging the public to shun any form of physical altercations and argument that could lead to escalation of violence, the CP said the command is working tirelessly to address the issue and ensure public safety.

He further charged residents of the state to report any suspicious event to the nearest police station.
