The newly appointed Kano State Police Commissioner, Salman Dogo Garba, has taken office, pledging his commitment to ensuring the safety and security of citizens and their property.

During a handover ceremony, Garba solicited the collaboration and support of police officers and the public following the promotion of his predecessor, CP Husani Gumel, to Assistant Inspector General rank at the Officers Mess in Bompai, Kano.

He emphasized the need for a seamless transition and optimal performance.

He cited his successful efforts to reduce criminal activity in Kano State as evidence of his loyalty and commitment to the governor and Kano people.

In his farewell address, Gumel expressed his gratitude to the officers and men of the Kano State Command for their unwavering support and cooperation throughout his tenure, attributing his accomplishments in Kano to their collective efforts and dedication.

He called upon the officers and men of the Kano State Command to extend their full cooperation and support to the new Commissioner of Police, Garba, to enable him to successfully achieve the command’s goals and objectives.

At the vibrant farewell ceremony, the Correspondent Chapel of the Nigeria Union of Journalists, Kano State Chapter, honoured Gumel with an Award of Excellence, recognizing his exceptional leadership and outstanding achievements during his tenure in Kano.
