The Nigerian Police Force has ordered a 24-hour curfew in response to the recent electoral petitions tribunal ruling that sacked Kano State Governor Abba Kabir Yusuf. Muhammad Usaini Gumel, the commissioner of police, personally signed the announcement announcing the curfew’s immediate execution.<\/p>\n

“Violators will be arrested and made to face the full wrath of the law.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
\u201cFinally, I wish to appreciate all the peace-loving People of the State and urge them to remain law abiding as it\u2019s in the best interest of all that we come together to maintain law and order in the State,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n
