''The police in the state will not hesitate to deal ruthlessly with anyone caught trying to cause trouble.”

The Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) has declared the governorship election held on March 9 inconclusive.

Meanwhile, Legit.ng had reported that Muhammad Abdullahi Sugar, a political associate of the presidential candidate of the PDP, Atiku Abubakar, described the Kano state police commissioner, Mohammed Wakil, as the hero of the 2019 general elections.

Sugar has urged the acting inspector general of police, Mohammad Adamu to single out the Kano police commissioner for commendation for the way he carried out his duties during the 2019 general elections.

He implored other police officers in the country to emulate Wakil, noting that their duty is to work in the interest of the country.

Sugar also insisted that Atiku won the presidential election but noted that the results were rigged in favour of the All Progressives Congress (APC).

The outcome of the presidential election had shown that Atiku won before the votes were manipulated.
