The Kano State government, in coordination with security agencies, has announced a movement restriction across the state from midnight to 6:00 PM on Saturday.
The measure, confirmed by Commissioner of Information and Internal Affairs Baba Halilu Dantiye, is intended to ensure a peaceful and secure environment for the local government elections set for October 26.
In his statement on Friday, Dantiye called on residents to comply with the restrictions, emphasizing the government’s commitment to a credible and transparent electoral process.
The restrictions apply to both individuals and vehicles throughout the 44 local government areas and 484 electoral wards in the state.
This directive aims to maintain order and prevent potential disruptions during the election.
However, exemptions are granted for those involved in official election duties and essential services.
The Kano State Government encourages all citizens to support this effort.
It also reiterated that strict adherence to these guidelines is crucial for a safe and successful electoral process.
