We’re not involved in Kano looting, arson – Peace ambassadors

During the recent hardship protest in Kano, the Kano State Peace Ambassadors have distanced themselves from the burning and looting of shops.

Chairman Nasiru Usman Naibawa made this clear in a statement released on Saturday. Naibawa, a former chairman of Kumbotso Local Government, emphasized that their group organized a peaceful rally. They marched from their office at Audu Bako Way to present a letter to the 15th Emir of Kano, Alhaji Aminu Ado Bayero, at his palace. They intended to present a similar letter to Governor Abba Kabir Yusuf but refrained based on advice from security agencies.

Naibawa stressed that President Bola Tinubu needs more time to address the country’s challenges. He urged citizens to avoid participating in ongoing protests, which have led to lawlessness.

“I condemn those linking the recent looting of shops and the burning of the NCC Complex and High Court of Justice to Baffa Babba Danagundi. Danagundi is our grand patron, but some people are trying to tarnish his image,” Naibawa stated. “We are law-abiding citizens. Our peaceful rally had the security agencies’ permission. They were with us, and nobody among us broke the law.”
