Kano State Police Command said on Thursday it had arrested about 500 suspected miscreants otherwise known as “Yan’daba”, in continuation of its security strategy aimed at ensuring hitch-free 2019 general elections.
The Command’s Public Relations Officer,DSP Abdullahi Haruna, made this known while parading the suspects at the police headquarters in Kano.
He noted that the suspects were arrested in hideouts and black spots, saying the suspects were members of ‘Yan’daba, political thugs, drug dealers and addicts.

The PPRO said that the suspects would be arraigned on Thursday
