El-Rufai bans Religious Protests in Kaduna

Kaduna State Government has banned all forms of protests related to religious activities across the state.

A statement issued by the State Commissioner for Internal Security and Home Affairs, Samuel Aruwan, disclosed that the ban, which is with immediate effect, was done in consultation with the State Security Council.

The statement explained that the prohibition of religious protests became imperative in view of moves by some unpatriotic elements to organize series of for-and-against protests related to a recent security development in another Northern State.

It charged security agencies to ensure strict enforcement of the ban on religious protests.
