The Kano State Governor, Abba Kabir Yusuf, has relaxed the curfew imposed on the state.
On Thursday, the governor imposed a 24-hour curfew on the state after the #EndBadGovernance protests turned violent.
The state Commissioner for Information, Baba Dantiye, confirmed the development to journalists on Saturday.
He reaffirmed the government’s commitment to the protection of lives and properties in the state.
Dantiye said: “Having reviewed the curfew and worried by the situation the people have gotten in as a result of the curfew, His Excellency has directed that the curfew be relaxed now from 8:00 a.m., tomorrow Sunday, August 4 to 2:00 p.m. respectively.
The government is concerned about the security of lives and properties. That was why a curfew was imposed for 24 hours.
“This will continue, and the situation will continue to be reviewed. When the security situation improves, the decision will be further reviewed. I hope the people will comply.”
