The outgoing Commissioner of Police in Kano State, Mr Usaini Gumel, on Tuesday, reiterated that the State Command remained steadfast in maintaining law and order in the state.

“We will remain focused on our mandate and will not be distracted from providing a peaceful atmosphere for residents,” said Gumel, an Assistant Inspector-General of Police (AIG).
