In Kano, protesters targeted the newly constructed Nigeria Communications Commission (NCC) Industrial Park, setting parts of the facility ablaze. The Information and Communication Technology (ICT) center was set to be inaugurated next week.

At a press conference, Musa condemned the destruction, emphasizing that it is counterproductive and detrimental to national progress. “Destruction only diverts funds that could be used for development. We must work together to prevent further damage,” he said.

Musa noted that the local, state, and federal governments have been informed of the situation. He praised the Nigeria Police Force (NPF) for their efforts to maintain order but warned that the military would step in if violence continues.

“We will not stand by and let our country be destroyed,” Musa asserted. “Our response will be professional. Anyone caught engaging in violence will be prosecuted.”

The CDS also urged the media to reduce coverage of the protests, suggesting that some demonstrators are seeking attention. “This is not an election; excessive coverage gives undue attention to those seeking the spotlight,” he said.

Musa urged Nigerians to be patient with the government, noting that measures are being implemented to address economic hardships.
