The Nigeria Police Force, Kaduna State Command, has notified the general public that all forms of celebrations and rallies by political party supporters for or against winners/losers of the just concluded Presidential and National Assembly elections have been banned in the State.

This was contained in a statement signed by the Police Command’s spokesman, DSP Mohammed Jalige, on Monday in Kaduna and made available to newsmen.

“Any deliberate act to violate the ban or cause breakdown of law and order, under whatever guise, will face the full wrath of the law, as security agencies have been deployed and directed to ensure full enforcement. 

“All persons with intent to violate the order are warned to desist from that, as the Command in collaboration with other sister agencies are fully prepared to deal decisively with such persons, in accordance with extant laws.

“The Command uses this medium to call on the members of the public not to relent in supporting security agencies in delivering their mandates of securing lives and properties of the good people of Kaduna State.”
