The Kaduna State Police Command has prohibited all forms of celebrations and rallies in support or opposition to the results of the state’s presidential and National Assembly elections.

The ban was imposed on all political party supporters in the state’s 23 local government areas.

The ban followed the announcement of the Independent National Electoral Commission, declaring the All Progressives Congress Presidential candidate, Bola Tinubu, as the winner of the presidential election.

“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 also warned that its operatives, working with sister security agencies, would deal ruthlessly with any individual or group attempting to cause trouble in the state.

It urges residents not to give up on assisting security agencies in carrying out their mandates of protecting lives and property in the state.
