Kano guber: Kano Line MD arrested for disrupting voting
The Managing Director of Kano Line, Bashir Nasiru Aliko Koki, has been arrested by the police for allegedly disrupting voting and destroying ballot boxes at the Gwammaja area of Dala LGA, Kano state. The incident occurred during Saturday's gubernatorial and state house of assembly elections.

According to eyewitnesses, Koki arrived at the polling unit with some thugs and attempted to disrupt the voting process. The situation quickly turned violent, with the suspects destroying ballot boxes and causing chaos at the polling unit. The police were eventually called to the scene, and Koki and his accomplices were apprehended.

The Kano State Police Command has confirmed the arrest, stating that Koki and his accomplices are currently in custody and are being questioned. The police also assured the public that all those involved in the selection disruption would be held accountable for their actions.

The incident has drawn condemnation from various quarters, with many Nigerians expressing their dismay at the actions of Koki and his accomplices. The disruption of the electoral process is a serious offence, and those found guilty of such crimes could face severe penalties under Nigerian law.

The arrest of Koki also highlights the need for greater vigilance and security during elections in Nigeria. The electoral process in the country has been marred by incidents of violence and vote rigging in the past, and all stakeholders must work together to ensure that future elections are free and fair.

The Nigerian government and electoral authorities must improve the security and transparency of the electoral process and hold those who disrupt the technique accountable for their actions. The success of democracy in Nigeria depends on the credibility of its elections. The country must work to ensure that its citizens can participate in the democratic process without fear of intimidation or violence.
