The new Commissioner of Police (CP) in Kano state, Muhammad Musa Katsina Tuesday vowed to tackle the menace of rape and youth restiveness, otherwise known as Yandaba and other criminal activities in the state.
Musa Katsina who was posted from Oyo state took over from Ibrahim Idris who has been promoted to the position of Assistant Inspector-General of Police in-charge of Operation at the Force Headquarters in Abuja.
He said that his office will focus more on bringing down the wave of crime, rape, youth restiveness and other social vices prevalent in the ancient commercial city.
He also called on discernable Nigerians resident in Kano to help the Command with useful information on crime and criminal activities.
According to him, his office would be ever ready to promote the determination of the Inspector-General of Police, Solomon Arase, to reposition the Nigeria police.
While addressing officers and men of the Command, CP Musa Katsina urged them to inculcate the fear of God while carrying out their official duties.
The police boss warned the officers and men to shun extortion and corrupt practices and promised to oversee the efficient implementation of personnel welfare.
According to him, among the first he would take in repositioning the Command is to establish pioneer welfare office in the Command’s Public Relations office to look into welfare of officers affected by sickness, accident or disaster.
CP Musa Katsina appealed to the good people of Kano State and members of the press to continue to extend their maximum support and cooperation as given to his predecessors in bringing down the wave of crime in the state and ensure effective provision of adequate security of life and property.
