Tenants occupying properties built on government lands and public spaces have been asked by the Kano State Government to vacate their rented facilities or risk the consequences.
The statement added that, “failure to comply with the directive may affect their properties for which the government would not be held responsible “
This is a departure from its earlier practice, whereby its bulldozers demolish the affected properties and whatever items were found within it .
Some believed that the state government might have realized that it acted in grave error to have embarked on the demolition exercise which negatively affected tenants, who were neither notified to quit nor were directly responsible for the alleged trespass by the property owners”.
