The rebels entered Uvira, on the border with Burundi, less than a week after the presidents of Congo and Rwanda met with US President Donald Trump in Washington and affirmed their commitment to a peace deal known as the Washington Accords.

PROTESTS OF ANY KIND REMAIN PROHIBITED,ANNOUNCEMENT OF RESULTS THE PRESERVE OF INEC-KDSG. (PHOTO).#PRESS RELEASE.



KDSG Security Update: Sunday 26th February 2023. 

Protests of any kind remain prohibited. 

- Announcement of results the preserve of INEC

As the collation of election results progresses, the Kaduna State Government hereby reminds citizens that protests of any sort remain strictly prohibited across the State. 

The State Government has noted with satisfaction the largely peaceful conduct of elections across the state, and commends residents for exercising their franchise in an orderly manner. 

Citizens must therefore avoid street protests over election results - or of any other kind - in order to preserve the atmosphere of calm so far experienced. Actions which may disrupt public peace will be handled decisively by security agencies. 

It must be stressed that the announcement of election results is the exclusive duty of the Independent National Electoral Commission. Individuals and groups involved in unofficial publication of results should be aware that they constitute serious threats to public peace and order. 

Individuals or groups who may have queries over officially announced results are strongly urged to utilize the legal instruments provided by the Electoral Act. 

Governor Nasir El-Rufai continues to monitor closely the security situation in relation to the conduct of the elections, alongside security agencies in the State. 

Signed 

Samuel Aruwan 
Commissioner, Ministry of Internal Security and Home Affairs, Kaduna State.
