JUST IN: KANO GOV DECLARES 24-HOURS CURFEW
The Governor of Kano State, Abba Yusuf, has imposed a 24-hour curfew following violent protests against economic hardship.
This announcement was made by the governor’s spokesperson, Sunusi Tofa, on Thursday.
According to Tofa, the curfew was decided during an Emergency State Security Council meeting focused on addressing the increasing violence and disturbances arising from the demonstrations.
The curfew aims to protect lives and secure public and private property, as determined unanimously during the emergency session.
“The imposition of this curfew is a necessary measure to restore order and ensure the safety of our communities.
“It is paramount that we protect our citizens from further harm and preserve the sanctity of our state’s institutions and businesses,” he said.
The governor called on all citizens to remain vigilant and united during this challenging time.
“Let us not allow the actions of a few selfish individuals to divide us.
“Together, we can navigate these challenges and fortify our resolve to build a stronger, more resilient Kano State,” he said.
The statement noted that all security agencies in the state have been directed to ensure full compliance with the curfew, and citizens are urged to heed this directive for their safety and the well-being of all.
It was reported that hoodlums earlier looted the newly built Nigeria Communication Commission Industrial Park in Kano State.
Photos and videos circulating online shows the hoodlums setting the building on fire and making off with valuable equipment like computers, furniture, and electronics.
