Senator Rabiu Kwankwaso call on the Nigerian police to channel their security ability towards tackling and its handling of the recent terror alert in Kano. By issuing a false alert, the police not only created fear and confusion but also risked damaging their credibility.
Kwankwaso’s concern about a potential loss of trust is valid, as such false alarms could desensitize the public, making them less likely to take future warnings seriously. Additionally, his call for the Federal Government to avoid interfering in Kano’s local matters suggests a desire for more autonomy and proper governance at the state level.
The situation also raises questions about the efficiency and reliability of security agencies in handling such sensitive issues. The international aspect of the Maulud celebration compounds the issue, as the mismanagement of the terror alert could have far-reaching consequences for Nigeria’s global reputation.
What’s your take on this situation? Do you think the government or the police force should be held accountable for the false alarm?
