As reported by Channels TV, policemen were seen dispersing protesters in the Dan Agundi area of the state on Wednesday.
The protesters were said to have attended a special prayer organised by residents of Kofar Nasarawa in Kano metropolis before starting the protest.
From pictures circulating online, one of the protesters was seen holding a “Justice for Kano” banner.
It was gathered that the protesters, who had set up bonfires along the road, were later dispersed by armed policemen deployed in the area.
When contacted, the state Police Public Relations Officer, SP Abdullahi Haruna, said he was not in town.
But a source at the police headquarters confirmed that the police had succeeded in dispersing some of the protesters.
This development came after a Certified True Copy of the Court of Appeal judgment on the state governorship election surfaced, contradicting the judgment that was initially read out in court on Friday.
