Any celebrations and protests of the results of the recently held presidential and National Assembly elections in the state have been outlawed by the Kaduna State Police Command.
All political party supporters in the state’s 23 local government areas were subject to the ban.
The restriction came after the Independent National Election Commission announced that Bola Tinubu, the presidential candidate for the All Progressives Congress, had won the poll.
This information was provided in a statement that was released on Wednesday in Kaduna under the headline “General election: Ban on celebrations and rallies by political party supporters.”
The statement read, “The Nigeria Police Force, Kaduna State Command wishes to notify the general public that all forms of celebrations and rallies by political party supporters for or against winners/losers of the just concluded Presidential and National Assembly elections has been banned in the State.”
The state Police Public Relations Officer, Muhammad Jalige, warned that the command would not tolerate any deliberate act to violate the ban or breakdown of law and order under any guise in the state.

“All persons with intent to violate the order are warned to desist from that, as the Command in collaboration with other sister agencies are fully prepared to deal decisively with such persons in accordance with extant laws.
The command further warned that its operatives in collaboration with other sister security agencies would deal ruthlessly with any individual or group that attempted to cause trouble in the state.
It urges residents not to relent in supporting security agencies in delivering their mandates of securing lives and properties in the state.
