The Kano state government has imposed a dusk-to-dawn curfew to prevent a breakdown of law and order following tensions created by the tallying and announcement of the state’s gubernatorial and house of assembly election results.
Kano State Information and Internal Affairs Commissioner Mallam Muhammad Garba said in a statement issued Monday morning.
According to him, the decision was-
“to prevent hoodlums from causing chaos in the already tensed situation.”
The commissioner called on people in the state to –
“remain indoors as security agents would not spare anyone or group bent on causing trouble.”
This is done after the collation of the gubernatorial election in the state generated tensions in the last 17 hours. The State government insisted on imposing the dawn-to-dusk curfew to control the wild jubilation
