The Kano State Police Command, on Monday, banned, with immediate all forms of protest in the state, with immediate effect.<\/p>\n
This followed intelligence received by the Command that the two dominant parties; the New Nigeria People\u2019s Party, and the All Progressives Congress have assembled a rented crowd to embark on protest, without the endorsement of the Nigeria Labour Congress.<\/p>\n

The nationals also expressed their endorsement of the sanctions imposed by the Economic Community of West African States (ECOWAS) on Niger Republic .<\/p>\n
Condemning the military coup that ousted President Mohamed Bazoum\u2019s democratically elected government, these residents also cautioned against any form of military interference in their nation.<\/p>\n
Leader of the peaceful protest, Lawalli Mamman Barma, appealed to the coupists saying, \u201cWe demand without condition, the release of the president of Niger Republic, as well as his family and all other kidnapped persons.\u201d<\/p>\n
Barma who urged ECOWAS to rescind its decision to enforce military forces in the country, stressed that dialogue is the best approach to resolving conflict than military confrontation.<\/p>\n
However, Kano\u2019s Commissioner of Police, Hussaini Gumel, dismissed reports about protests by residents of the State.<\/p>\n
Gumel told the News Agency of Nigeria (NAN) in a telephone interview that the command was not aware of any protest by residents of the city against the proposed troops deployment.<\/p>\n
