The state government organised a special prayer session on Wednesday following the Court of Appeal judgement affirming the sacking of Abba Yusuf as Kano governor.

We gathered that immediately after the prayer session ended, some group of supporters staged a what they described as “peaceful protest” around Gidan Murtala, Kofar Nassarawa area of the metropolis.

In a viral video, the NNPP supporters were seen fleeing the area after the police fired a number of teargas canisters.

As of press time, the spokesperson of the police command, SP Abdullahi Kiyawa, had not issued a statement.
