The Police Command in Kano State has placed its security personnel on red alert ahead of Tuesday and Wednesday’s proposed protest by members of the organised labour unions in the state.
The state Commissioner of Police, Hussaini Gumel, told the News Agency of Nigeria (NAN) in Kano, the state capital, that proactive security measures had already been adopted to ensure peaceful and orderly protest in all parts of the state.
He said the deployment was in recognition of the right to peaceful protest, in line with extant laws, as a fundamental right of citizens.
