Youths Defy Ban, Stage Protest in Kano Despite Police Orders

Despite the ban issued by the Kano State police command, a multitude of youths flooded the streets of Kano on Monday to express their grievances.

Led by the President of the Kano Civil Society Forum (KCSF), Ibrahim Waiya, the protesters made their way to the State Government House.

The state commissioner of police, Mohammed Usain Gumel, had imposed a ban on protests in response to calls from the ruling New Nigerian Peoples Party (NNPP) and the opposition All Progressives Congress (APC) for their members to take to the streets, alleging bribery within the judiciary.

However, the ban was openly disregarded as the youths rallied together in defiance.
