A man identified as Salisu Rabiu has been killed in a fresh protest that rocked Kano State over an Appeal Court verdict sacking Governor Abba Yusuf of the New Nigeria People’s Party (NNPP).

Wearing the colour red popular among the Kwankwasiyya, a socio-religious movement with NNPP 2023 presidential candidate and ex-Kano governor, Rabiu Kwankwaso as the group’s leader, the protesters chanted solidarity songs to register their displeasure.

Policemen were seen stationed at various entrances of the state. The protesters blocked the road linking to Katsina State, preventing commuters from travelling.

“The Commissioner of Police, CP Mohammed Gumel, directed the Area Commander Dala, ACP NuhuDigi to fish out the erring police inspector with a view to constituting a board of inquiry into the cause of the incident of which the outcome will be communicated to the public.

“A few hours later, the Police Inspector has since been arrested and is now in Police custody.”
