THE Police Command in Kano state has assured residents of adequate security during Saturday’s by-elections in Bagwai/Shanono and Ghari/Tsanyawa constituencies.

Commissioner of Police, Ibrahim Bakori, told the News Agency of Nigeria on Friday that security agencies were working jointly to ensure a peaceful exercise.

He warned that anyone found violating electoral laws would be arrested and prosecuted.
