The governor of Kano State, Abba Yusuf, imposed a 24-hour curfew after a violent protest against the state’s economic hardship.<\/p>\n
This was said in a statement released on Thursday by Sunusi Tofa, the governor’s spokesperson.<\/p>\n
The announcement claims that the decision was made following a meeting of the Emergency State Security Council, which was devoted to discussing the growing unrest and violence that have resulted from peaceful protests.<\/p>\n
Tofa said that during the emergency meeting, everyone agreed to impose a curfew in order to protect lives and protect both public and private property.<\/p>\n
\u201cThe imposition of this curfew is a necessary measure to restore order and ensure the safety of our communities.<\/p>\n
\u201cIt is paramount that we protect our citizens from further harm and preserve the sanctity of our state\u2019s institutions and businesses,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n
The governor called on all citizens to remain vigilant and united during this challenging time.<\/p>\n
\u201cLet us not allow the actions of a few selfish individuals to divide us.<\/p>\n
\u201cTogether, we can navigate these challenges and fortify our resolve to build a stronger, more resilient Kano State,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n
The statement said that for everyone’s safety and well-being, all state security agencies have been instructed to guarantee that the curfew is strictly adhered to. Residents are urged to follow this instruction.<\/p>\n
The News Digest reports that hoodlums earlier looted the newly built Nigeria Communication Commission Industrial Park in Kano State.<\/p>\n
Online videos and pictures purport to show the thieves torching the building and taking valuables like electronics, computers, and furniture with them.<\/p>\n
