The Kano State Commissioner of Police (CP), Muhammed Usaini Gumel, said his men and repentant thugs are set to battle each other in a football competition.
Gumel made this public while parading 108 suspects arrested for various crimes during the Sallah celebration.
The CP said, the football competition between the officers and the repentant thugs is in line with the commitment of the Command under his leadership to help the louts become better persons.
“We will develop a different approach to make sure these thugs are changing their lives and becoming better people. We will even organise sports competitions with them. We will play a football match, and we will play an indoor match.
“Our eyes are now focusing on the emerging thuggery (daba) activities, especially within the Kano metropolis. Going forward on this, we have set out operational strategies with robust intelligence gathering on the early warning signs and our assets are already in place towards surmounting all forms of the underlying crimes and criminality around the state,” he said.
