Following the unrest caused by the reinstatement of Sanusi Lamido Sanusi as the Emir of Kano, the state governor, Abba Yusuf has banned all forms of public gatherings intended for protest within the state.
Yusuf’s directive was contained in a statement issued by his Director-General, Media and Publicity, Sanusi Tofa, on Wednesday in Kano.
The governor also directed the Police, Department of State Services (DSS), and Nigeria Security and Civil Defence Corps (NSCDC) to apprehend, detain, and prosecute any individual or group violating the order.
