We identified thuggery, particularly the notorious Fadan Daba, and drug abuse as top priorities,\u201d Bakori explained. \u201cThese challenges threaten the safety of our communities and the futures of our youth.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>While acknowledging these successes, CP Bakori stressed that arresting suspects was not enough.<\/p>\n<p>He urged stakeholders to focus on youth empowerment as a preventive strategy, through investments in education, vocational training, and recreational activities.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThe roots of thuggery and drug abuse run deep in society, often stemming from socio-economic factors and lack of opportunities,\u201d he said. \u201cWe must work together to provide alternatives for our youth.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>He also charged Divisional Police Officers to work hand in hand with traditional rulers and community stakeholders to identify and tackle emerging threats in their jurisdictions.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWhen we work together with people\u2019s support and cooperation, there will be no more Daba in Kano,\u201d he declared.<\/p>\n<p><strong>For More News And Analysis About <span style=\"color: #ff6600\">Nigeria<\/span> Follow <span style=\"color: #ff6600\">Africa-Press<\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Africa-Press &#8211; Nigeria.
