Kano remains calm as residents comply with 24-hour curfew 

The ancient city of Kano has remained calm since Friday following the decision by the State Government to impose a 24-hour curfew on the state after Thursday’s protest against hunger that turned into violence and massive looting of public properties across the state capital.

The ugly situation compelled Governor Abba Yusuf to impose a 24-hour curfew on the state to prevent further spread of the massive destruction and looting as well as to protect lives and property.

The mayhem which was carried out by hoodlums during the first day of the protests, brought socio-economic activities to a standstill as law-abiding residents had remained indoors to avoid possible attacks from miscreants.

Our correspondent who monitored the situation on Saturday, observed that there was a total compliance of the curfew as streets of the commercial city remained deserted, while security operatives were seen patrolling the major roads.

It was also observed that markets, banks, filling stations, restaurants as well as shopping malls and other business premises have remained closed in compliance with the curfew.

Human and vehicular movements have also been restricted as only personnel on essential duties or services are allowed to move within the city.

On Friday the State Government relaxed the curfew for five hours to allow Muslim faithful to attend Friday prayers in the various Mosques across the city.
