- Protest which started peacefully later turned violent as hoodlums and thugs hijacked the protest
Governor Abba Yusuf has declared a 24-hours curfew in Kano state with immediate effect following unrest arising from the hunger protest.
The Governor who announced this while addressing newsmen at the Kano State government house, said the action became imperative to ensure full protection of lives and properties in the state as hoodlums and thugs have hijacked the protest to embark on looting and indiscriminate killing of innocent citizens.
Governor Yusuf said all security agencies were directed to ensure full and immediate compliance.
Recall that the protest which started peacefully later turned violent as hoodlums and thugs hijacked the protest.
