Kano Group Threatens Indefinite Protest After Curfew

A group, Nigerian Patriotic Front Movement, Northern chapter, has threatened to begin an indefinite protest after the curfew is completely lifted in Kano State.

The secretary of the NPFM, Anas Adamu, made the threat in a telephone interview with PUNCH Online in Kano on Saturday.

He said the group would resume the protest because President Bola Tinubu had yet to address their demands ten days after the commencement of the nationwide protests.

Adamu stated, “We shall resume the protest immediately after the curfew is lifted, which will be indefinite because the government has not met our demands.”

He added that the President’s broadcast on Sunday morning was nothing but an empty speech because he had not addressed any of their minimum demands.

Adamu explained that the group had commenced mobilization of its members ahead of the lifting of the curfew imposed on the State.

He also called for the immediate release of peaceful protesters arrested by security personnel during the hunger protest, saying their group is not in support of violence or destruction and looting of properties.
