Security agents seal Kano NUJ secretariat over planned protest

Published by

Security agents comprising operatives of the Department of Security Service (DSS), the Police and the Nigeria Security and Civil Defence Corps (NSCDC) on Wednesday sealed off the Kano secretariat of the Nigeria Union of Journalists (NUJ) (Press Centre).

This happened after a group revealed its plan to use the press centre as the venue of a peaceful protest against the deteriorating insecurity in the country.

But the protest did not hold as security vehicles with fully armed personnel were stationed and spread across the street as early as 7am while the gate of the press centre was shut.

All efforts made to get the comments of the state police command were not successful, as several calls made to the Police Public Relation Officer (PPRO) DSP Haruna Kiyawa were not picked.
