Ganduje highlighted that his administration’s security
framework included strengthened local vigilance networks, multi-layered
community policing, robust intelligence sharing, close coordination with
security agencies, and development-focused crime prevention measures.

He said these strategies helped curb rural banditry, deter
urban crime, and maintain relative stability across the state.

In a statement released by Muhammad Garba, his former Chief
of Staff and ex-Commissioner for Information and Internal Affairs, Ganduje
expressed concern over the “worrisome” security situation in Kano.

He described recent attacks in Shanono and Tsanyawa Local
Government Areas, which left three people dead and several women and children
kidnapped, as “tragic, painful, and deeply distressing.”

Ganduje extended condolences to the families and residents
affected, stressing that the emotional and psychological trauma from the
attacks requires urgent and coordinated action.

He called on the Kano State government to adopt proactive,
intelligence-driven, and community-based security measures to prevent further
incidents.

The former APC chairman also praised the responses of Niger,
Kwara, Kebbi, and other states in handling similar security challenges,
highlighting their effective interventions, cross-agency cooperation, and
strong community engagement.

He appealed to affected communities to remain calm yet
vigilant, cooperate with security agencies, and provide timely information to
prevent further attacks.

Ganduje emphasized that tackling insecurity requires
collective responsibility among citizens, traditional institutions, government
authorities, and security agencies.
