INSECURITY: Voluntary security outfits banned in Kaduna
The Kaduna State Police Command on Wednesday banned all activities of voluntary security outfits in the state popularly known as “Y’an Sa Kai.’’
This according to the command is a part of efforts to reduce crime rate in the state.
In a statement issued Wednesday by the spokesman of the command, DSP Yakubu Sabo, a warning was issued that on no account should any person or group of persons parade themselves as Y’an Sa Kai/Y’an Bula and perform any form of voluntary security assignment within the State.

Sabo warned that anyone who violates the order, using the instrumentality of the law, would be dealt with decisively.
“The command, therefore, solicits the usual support from the members of the public to provide timely and useful information about criminal activities within their immediate environment in order to help the police to serve them better,’’ he said.
