Tribunal judgement: Kano police lift 24-hour curfew

  • Peace and order have returned to the land, following the lifting of the curfew imposed by the Kano government in the state
  • The move is backed by a directive from Governor Abba Kabir Yusuf to security authorities to end the dusk-to-dawn restrictions
  • Yusuf’s directive is coming immediately after the state election tribunal declared the immediate-past deputy governor of the state, Nasiru Yusuf Gawuna

The Kano state government on Thursday, September 21, lifted the 24-hour curfew imposed to forestall a breakdown of law and order in the state.

On Wednesday, September 20, the Kano police command declared a 24-hour curfew in the state following the tribunal judgement sacking Abba Kabir Yusuf as the governor.
