Spokesperson of the Command, Ahmed Wakil confirmed this in a statement made available to newsmen in Bauchi on Friday.

Wakil attributed recent clashes, including an agitated incident on September 15, 2024, which caused destruction of property and injuries for the decision to suspend plans for this year’s Lemb Zaar festival pending the consequence of a court case.
