Kano Police calls for restraint, peace over Sheikh Triumph’s comments

The Kano State Police Command has urged residents to maintain public peace and order following the recent controversy surrounding the preaching of Sheikh Abubakar Lawan Triumph, which has generated heated discussions and concerns among certain groups.
The call is contained in a press statement signed by the command’s spokesman, issued to DAILY POST.
The statement noted that the Command had invited the Sheikh to its office and has initiated discussions with relevant stakeholders to address the situation.
The statement read, “In response to the situation, on 10th July, 2025, the Kano State Commissioner of Police, having invited the Sheikh, has initiated discussions with relevant stakeholders, including government officials, religious leaders, and community representatives, to address the concerns and ensure that necessary measures are put in place to prevent any potential escalation”
The Command, therefore, urges all citizens to remain calm and exercise restraint, avoiding actions that could exacerbate the situation.
“It is important to respect the rights and beliefs of others and to operate within the confines of laws and regulations that govern our society, in our exercise of freedom to worship and expression, among others”
“We therefore encourage anyone with legitimate concerns or complaints to channel them to the appropriate authorities rather than resorting to acts that could lead to infractions or inflammatory rhetoric on social media”
The Command reiterated its commitment to maintaining peace and order in the state while upholding the principles of justice, fairness, and respect for all citizens, regardless of their background or affiliation.
