Expressing concern over the potential escalation of the situation, CISLAC’s executive director, Mallam Auwal Musa Rafsanjani, stressed that declaring a state of emergency in Kano would be a drastic and unnecessary measure.

The group emphasized the significance of maintaining peace and stability in Kano, noting that any further turmoil could reverse the strides made towards development in the region.
