The Kano State Governor, Abba Kabir Yusuf has ordered the members of the public to desist from any form of protest within the state. He made this known through a statement issued by his spokesperson, Sanusi Tofa, on Wednesday.

The statement read, “By virtue of his position, the governor has directed the police, the Department of State Services, and the Nigeria Security and Civil Defence Corps to apprehend, detain, and prosecute any individual or group partaking in demonstrations on the streets of Kano.

“This decisive action is a preemptive strategy aimed at averting any potential breakdown of law and order orchestrated by adversaries of the state.

“We are privy to credible intelligence indicating that certain prominent figures from the opposition party in Kano have devised plans to sponsor student associations and political agitators from other northwestern states to incite chaos under the guise of advocating for the dethroned Emir of Kano, Aminu Ado Bayero.

“The state government has explicitly outlawed protests, demonstrations, or processions of any kind, and individuals found on the streets of Kano engaging in such activities will be promptly apprehended.’’

He urged members of the public to remain calm and go about their normal activities. Citizens are further urged to report any suspicious activities to security agencies .

Recall that a Federal high court in Kano had earlier ordered the eviction of Emir Muhammadu Sanusi II and a state high court restrained the police from carrying out the order.
