The spokesman of the PDP gubernatorial candidate in Kano, Sanusi Bature, accused the ruling APC of sponsoring the dastardly act. A statement by the Commissioner for Information, Malam Muhammad Garba, alleged that the suspected PDP thugs also dismantled all APC campaign posters within the city in the wee hours of Saturday. Wakili said those arrested were found with dangerous weapons with which to disrupt public peace during the PDP presidential campaign rally. “Arresting and prosecuting the suspects will serve as a deterrent to others inclined to political violence. I enjoin the security agencies to be on the red alert to curtail political violence.
