Jigawa State Governor Umar Namadi has declared a 24-hour indefinite curfew following the escalation of violence during the nationwide protests on Thursday.
In a personal announcement, Governor Namadi justified the curfew by stating that Jigawa is a Muslim-majority state, where protests are deemed un-Islamic and contrary to local culture and tradition.
He emphasised that Muslims believe only Allah (God) has the power to cause hardship, implying that human actions, such as protests, are ineffective in addressing grievances.
