The Kano Police Command says it has deployed officers to ensure a peaceful protest by the Nigeria Labour Congress (NLC) in the state, scheduled for Wednesday.

The state commissioner of police, Ibrahim Bakori, told journalists in a telephone interview on Tuesday that the police would provide security at the protest venues and other public buildings to maintain law and order.

Mr Bakori said the deployment was aimed at guaranteeing the safety of participants and preventing any disruption to public order.

The police command said officers had been deployed to key locations, including the protest routes and public buildings, to maintain order and safeguard the participants.

Mr Bakori reiterated the command’s commitment to upholding the right to peaceful assembly while ensuring the safety of the residents and property.

He added that the police were coordinating with NLC officials to ensure a smooth, incident‑free demonstration.

The NLC is scheduled to stage a peaceful march in Kano as part of its nationwide protest over economic concerns.
