Police Ban Ramadan Performance in Kano over security threats

The Kano State Police Command has suspended the annual Ramadan traditional performances popular known as Tashe usually performed in form of drama after the first 10 days of the holy month.

The spokesman of the Police command, SP Abdullahi Haruna Kiyawa, announced this in a statement yesterday evening.

He said, “This is because criminals disguise under the pretense of the tashe annual traditional performance to carry out criminal activities such as thuggery, handset snatching and drug abuse.”

He said the commissioner of police, Sama’ila Shu’aibu Dikko, was calling on parents and guardians to warn their children and wards not to involve in any act of breaking law and order as “anyone caught would be dealt with according to the provisions of the law.”
