The Kaduna State Police Command has banned all forms of celebrations and rallies across the 23 local government areas in the state.
The ban on celebrations and rallies be it in favour or against the results of the concluded presidential and National Assembly elections in the state takes immediate effect.
This was disclosed in a statement titled, ‘General election: Ban on celebrations and rallies by political party supporters,’ issued in Kaduna on Wednesday.
The statement reads, “The Nigeria Police Force, Kaduna State Command wishes to notify 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 has been banned in the State.”
The statement signed and made available by the Public Relations Officer, Muhammad Jalige, added,
“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 while urging that residents assist the security agencies in delivering their mandates of securing lives and properties in the state warned that its operatives in collaboration with other sister security agencies would deal ruthlessly with any individual or group that attempted to cause trouble in the state.
