 Kano Assembly Summons LGA Chairman Over Rano Market Demolition


The Kano State House of Assembly has summoned the Chairman of Rano Local Government Area to explain the recent demolition of structures at Rano Market, a move that has stirred controversy among traders and residents.

He lamented that the demolitions were conducted without prior notice, leaving hundreds of traders in distress and threatening the area's economic stability.


In response, the Assembly approved the motion and directed the local government chairman to appear before lawmakers to justify the action, particularly in light of the hardships it has caused.


Meanwhile, some affected traders have appealed to the state government for intervention, urging an immediate halt to further demolitions and assistance for those impacted.


The Assembly reassured the public that it would continue to monitor the situation to ensure justice and safeguard the rights of the affected community.
