The Kano State Commissioner of Police (CP), Muhammed Usaini Gumel, has said that the command will organise a football match between its team and some repentant thugs as part of their commitment to ensure they have repented.
The CP disclosed this while parading 108 suspects arrested for various crimes during the last Sallah celebration.
He said, “We will develop a different approach to make sure these thugs are changing their lives and becoming better people. We will even organise sports competitions with them. We will play a football match, and we will play an indoor match.
“Our eyes are now focusing on the emerging thuggery (daba) activities, especially within the Kano metropolis. Going forward on this, we have set out operational strategies with robust intelligence gathering on the early warning signs and our assets are already in place towards surmounting all forms of the underlying crimes and criminality around the state.
