Police Close Katsina Road As Buhari Visits

The Police Command in Katsina State has announced the temporary closure of Kankara-Dutsinma road, over the scheduled visit of President Muhammadu Buhari to the state.

This is contained in a statement by the command’s Public Relations Officer (PPRO) SP Gambo Isah and issued to newsmen on Wednesday in Katsina.

According to him, President Buhari will arrive Katsina on July 15, for the commissioning of Zobe Regional Water Supply Project and the newly constructed Tsaskiya road in Safana Local Government Area of the state.  

“In view of the above, the Command wishes to announce the temporary closure of Dutsinma-Kankara road, Dutsinma-Tsaskiya road and other adjoining roads to the venue of the two events, from 11:30 am to 4 pm.

“Members of the public, especially commuters, herders, pedestrians and cyclists, are hereby directed to use other alternative routes. 

“The command enjoins the good people of the state to always partner and cooperate with the Nigeria police and other sister agencies toward a successful and hitch- free commissioning ceremony,” he said in announcing measures to keep smooth traffic while Buhari is in the state.

Meanwhile, Malam Ahmed Bamalli, the Emir of Zazzau, has appealed to wealthy individuals to support the coalition of Civilian-Joint Task Force (JTF) in Kaduna State with logistics.

Bamalli noted that such support from the wealthy would go a long way in enhancing the coalition’s operations in the state, advising the coalition to also write to the state government for further support to help the group in taming the state’s security challenges.

The traditional ruler, who made the call when he received the Coalition at his palace in Zaria, on Wednesday, commended them for their role as a community policing outfit, supporting the government to address drug abuse and other social vices in the state.

The emir expressed his appreciation to the coalition for appointing him as its grand patron.

Earlier, the Chairman of the Coalition, Alhaji Shehu Dantudu, said the visit was to seek the blessings and guidance of the emir.
