A statement by the State Commissioner for Information Halilu Dantiye, said “in view of the current tense situation in the state, the need to allay the fears of the public following the reports, reassure them of government commitment in ensuring the protection of their lives and properties.
The statement maintained that contrary to media reports, there have been no widespread violent protests in Kano State.
” While the government is aware of isolated incidents in few areas by handful of small children and hired miscreants and thugs, these do not in any way reflect the overall situation.”
These hired unpatriotic individuals were only aiming to destabilize the state for the personal gain and selfish interests of their paymasters. The great majority of Kano state’s citizens have shown remarkable restraints and understanding of the sincere action of the state government.” the statement added.
