Kano State government is set to declare curfew as angry protesters attacked the State Secretariat in Kano City.

According to visuals obtained by InsightMedia, the attack on the Industrial Park is happening at the same time when #EndBadGovernance protesters stormed the Government House in Kano to protest against hardship and hunger in the country.

Reacting to the incident, X user simply identified as Dr. Tijani said, โ€œSad to learn that our Digital Innovation Park in Kano slated for launch next week to support our technical talent accelerator (3MTT) has been set ablaze and looted by protesters.

โ€œAlongside #3MTT, this building is set to host our buildathon holiday maker programme for secondary school kids starting next week. A slight setback for our journey to deepening our workforce for technology while creating job opportunities for the youth. Millions of Naira down the drain.”

In the meantime, the Kano State Governor is set to declare curfew to calm fray nerves.

Sources said the Governor and his cabinet have discussed and decided to impose curfew within Kano metropolis.
