Hundreds of protesters mostly underaged boys gathered in Kano
on Saturday morning on the third day of the #EndBadGovernance protest.
Our correspondent observed that the youths trooped out in
areas such as Kurna Asabe, Jain and Brigade to continue the protests.
The State Police Commissioner, Salman Dogo Garba, informed
our correspondent that some youths, hiding under a program organized by an
unnamed politician at the Nassarawa Palace of Emir Aminu Ado Bayero, stormed
the streets, chanting anti-government songs.
He said, “It is true that some group of people who took the
advantage of a program organized by one politician took to the streets in
continuation of their violent protests but we have suppressed them.”
Our correspondent who went through Audu Bako Secretariat in
an attempt to get to the State NUJ Office situated at Firm Center, was turned
back despite identifying himself as journalist.
Similarly, at the Ahmadu Bello Way, armed policemen blocked
the entire road, insisting that nobody will pass through.
An officer who shouted on top of his voice, stressed that
there was curfew in the town and nobody will be allowed to go anywhere,
including journalists.
Governor Abba Kabir Yusuf had imposed a 24-hour-curfew in
Kano after protesters went on rampage on August 1, looting and setting public
buildings ablaze.
