The Kano State Governor, Abba Kabir Yusuf, has called on President Bola Ahmed Tinubu to remove the state Commissioner of Police, CP Ibrahim Adamu Bakori, accusing him of defying lawful orders and undermining his authority as the state’s Chief Security Officer.

Governor Yusuf made the call during an event to commemorate Nigeria’s 65th Independence Anniversary held at Kofar Mata Stadium in Kano metropolis.

Expressing displeasure, the governor alleged that police officers under CP Bakori’s command withdrew from providing security at the ceremony, despite clear instructions he personally issued to the commissioner.

“The Commissioner of Police have embarrassed us by his conduct,” Yusuf said. “His action is unprofessional, unethical, and contrary to what is expected of a security chief on such a historic day for the people of Kano and indeed for Nigeria as a whole.”

The governor insisted that the commissioner’s behavior was unacceptable; stressing that his continued presence in Kano poses a challenge to effective coordination of security in the state.

“On behalf of myself as chief security officer, and on behalf of the good people of Kano state, I call on President Bola Ahmed Tinubu to remove CP Ibrahim Adamu Bakori, Today.” Yusuf declared.

Nigeria moves to deploy AI, anti-drone systems for military operations

Nigeria has announced plans to deploy artificial intelligence (AI) and advanced anti-drone systems as part of a major overhaul of its military operations, according to TheCable.   The Minister of Defence, Christopher Musa, disclosed the development while leading a high-level delegation to Monaco to finalise discussions on the Hybrid Intelligence Shield (HIS) project.   The initiative is designed to strengthen border security, protect urban centres and improve Nigeria’s response to evolving security threats, including insurgency, banditry, piracy and oil theft.   Under the proposed system, AI-powered surveillance technology will be deployed to rapidly detect and analyse threats using smart algorithms, while anti-drone technology will be used to intercept and neutralise unmanned aerial systems that may pose security risks.   The plan also includes the establishment of national and regional command-and-control centres to enhance real-time coordination and operational response across security agencies.   Musa said the project will prioritise technology transfer and local capacity development through the creation of a military “Centre of Excellence” in Nigeria.   The Defence Ministry is also expected to work with international partners, including Marss UK Ltd, while building indigenous capacity to address internal security challenges.   Nigeria continues to face multiple security threats across different regions, prompting growing calls from security experts for the adoption of advanced technologies such as AI surveillance systems, drones and integrated intelligence platforms to support military operations, TheCable reports.
