BREAKING: Emir Sanusi Speaks as Protests Resume in Kano

The Emir of Kano, Alhaji Muhammadu Sanusi II, has appealed to the people of Kano and beyond to refrain from being used as agents of destruction, as protests resumed in the city despite a curfew.

The emir made the appeal at a press conference held at his Gidan Rumfa palace on Friday evening.

He expressed concern over the looting and vandalism of public and private properties that occurred during the protests.

He described the events as a setback to the state, the northern region, and the country at large.

The Emir's plea came as protesters regrouped in Tudun Wada, Nassarawa Local Government Area, after Governor Abba Kabir Yusuf relaxed the curfew to allow for Jumaat prayers.
