To prevent the breakdown of law and other, the Kano state government on Monday, 20 March, 2023, imposed a dawn to dusk curfew, following tensions generated from the collation of results of the Governorship and State Assembly Elections in the state.
A statement issued by the state Commissioner for Information and Internal Affairs, Malam Muhammad Garba, said the decision was to prevent hoodlums from causing chaos in the already tensed situation.
He called on the people of the state to remain indoors as security agents would not spare anyone or group bent on causing trouble.
It was gathered that results from all the 44 LGAs have been read out by the collation officers with the New Nigeria Peoples Party (NNPP) leading with over 120,000 votes, the final declaration has been delayed since 3am due to issues on cancelled votes.
The Returning Officer was however about to start declaration of the results by 6:48am when the APC agent at the collation centre began making observations.
