BREAKING: Ganduje Declares Dawn To Dusk Curfew As NNPP Wins Guber Election

The Kano state government has imposed a dawn-to-dusk curfew following the declaration of the state governorship election results. In a statement issued on Monday morning, the state Commissioner for Information and Internal Affairs, Muhammad Garba, said the decision was taken to avoid the breakdown of law and order in the state.

The commissioner said Governor Abdullahi Ganduje took the decision to prevent hoodlums from causing chaos in the already tense state. Garba called on people in the state to remain indoors as security agents would not spare anyone or group bent on causing trouble.

However, the governorship candidate of the New Nigeria Peoples Party (NNPP), Abba Kabir Yusuf, has been declared the winner of the Kano state governorship election. Yusuf, who polled 1,019,602 votes, was declared the winner of the election by the returning officer in Kano, Ahmad Dokko Ibrahim.

BREAKING: Thugs Set House Of Kano Singer, Rara, On Fire

Barely an hour after the declaration of the Kano state governorship election, some unidentified thugs have set the residence of ace political singer, Dauda Kahutu Rarara on fire. Rara was at the centre stage of the All Progressives Congress (APC) campaign, singing at various rallies while the electioneering lasted.

According to an eyewitness, who is also a resident of the area, Yusuf Abdullahi, the thugs invaded the house and started destroying valuables before setting the house on fire.

However, minutes after, the police were said to have dispersed the thugs but the fire was still on while firefighters were yet to arrive at the scene. “All you can hear is sounds of explosions from the house as the fire continues to damage belongings,” Abdullahi said.

The Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) had early Monday declared Abba Kabir Yusuf of the New Nigerian People’s Party (NNPP) as the winner of the governorship election.
