The Kano State Police Command has issued stern warning to residents against blocking roads for social media content.
The state’s Police Public Relations Officer, SP Abdullahi Haruna Kiyawa said in a statement on Monday that “dancing, washing, singing, and other activities on roads” do not only cause unnecessary traffic congestion but also pose a significant risk to public safety.
According to the statement, obstructing highways and disrupting public order are “serious offenses under the laws of the Federal Republic of Nigeria.”
The police spokesman explained that such actions can lead to accidents, injuries, and damage to property.
“The Kano State Police Command hereby warns all individuals and groups involved in these activities to desist immediately. Parents and guardians are also advised to caution their wards against participating in such activities.
“The Command is committed to maintaining public safety and order, and will not hesitate to take necessary measures to address this issue. This may include arresting and prosecuting offenders,” the statement added.
