Maybe they feel unable to provide enough security to guarantee his safety and the safety of other attendees. "Ban" is the word he used, which I think overplays it a bit. Usually a ban is for poor behavior (see: Will Smith) and that is not the case here.

That makes sense, with the police in the article stating that they don't have the authority to ban anyone from the event. They could definitely say that the existing security isn't enough if certain people were attending though.
