The outgoing Commissioner of police for Kano State, Sama’ila Shuaibu Dikko, has expressed frustration over the state’s ministry of justice’s arbitrary issuance of bails to criminals.
Dikko, who spoke on Monday during a ceremony to mark his retirement at the command’s headquarters, urged the state government and the judiciary to address the worrying trend.
” I used to be very upset when we arrested a criminal for a serious offense, charged him in court, just for the court to release him on bail,” he said.
Dikko noted that the act is demoralising for the force.
The CP will retire from the service on Wednesday 27th July 2022 after reaching the mandatory 60-year retirement age.
He served for a period of 17 months as the 42nd Commissioner of Police in the state.
While bidding farewell to the officers of the command, Dikko urged them to be law-abiding and always adhere to the ethics of the job wherever they found themselves, praying for them to end their service to the country in peace and happiness.
