This development occurs just one day after the Kano State Government eased the curfew that was enforced in the wake of the protest-related violence.

Following the violent turnout of the nationwide #EndbadGovernance demonstration on Thursday, Governor Yusuf enforced a 24-hour curfew.

“His Excellency has ordered that the curfew be loosened now from 8 am, tomorrow Sunday, August 4, to 2 pm, respectively, after reviewing the curfew and being concerned about the situation the people have gotten into as a result of the curfew,” he stated.

He reaffirmed the state government’s dedication to safeguarding Kano people’ lives and property.

“A 24-hour curfew was enforced because the government is worried about the safety of people and property.

This will go on, and the state of affairs will be kept under review. The choice will be made again after the security situation has improved. I’m hoping that everyone will comply.
