Residents of Minjibir, the headquarters of Minjibir Local Government of Kano State defied the curfew imposed by the Government of Kano State regarding the protest over bad Governance in Nigeria.
It witnessed significant protests on Friday despite the curfew imposed by the state governor the previous day.
This unrest coincides with the second day of a hunger demonstration initiated by activists and citizens advocating for various social and political issues.
The demonstration is a form of peaceful protest aimed at drawing attention to grievances that have been largely ignored by the government.
The protests in Minjibir are part of a broader wave of civil disobedience occurring across Nigeria, where citizens are increasingly frustrated with government policies, economic hardship, and perceived injustices.
The imposition of a curfew by the government was typically intended to maintain order and prevent the continuation of violence that attended the first day of the protest in Kano and other places across Nigeria, especially the north.
During the protests in Minjibir, participants expressed their dissatisfaction with various issues including economic hardship and political accountability.
Despite the risks associated with protesting under curfew conditions—such as potential clashes with security forces, the protesters came out in appreciable numbers, according to eye witnesses.
The protests in Minjibir amid a curfew reflect a critical moment in Nigeria’s ongoing struggle for social justice and political reform. The determination shown by protesters highlights an urgent need for dialogue between citizens and government officials to address underlying issues effectively
