NEW POLICE COMMISSIONER
Garba

Salman-Dogo Garba, Commissioner of Police in Kano, has said that there was no single death recorded in the state during the just concluded nationwide #EndBadGovernance protest.

Garba said this during a press conference where suspects were paraded on Monday.

He said, “Going by the records, so far, we are not aware of any casualties recorded.”

At least five persons were reportedly killed during the protests, which was hijacked by hoodlums in some instances.

Families of deceased persons are still mourning their loved ones who were said to be killed by bullets during the protest. But Garba disagreed with the claim.
