Members of the ‘Tinubu Must Go’ movement staged a protest in Kano on Sunday after police officers allegedly blocked access to their meeting venue.
The movement’s convener, Abba Hikima, alleged that police officers restricted members from accessing the venue, with more than 10 mobile police vehicles reportedly deployed in the area.
Hikima accused the police of violating the group’s rights to peaceful assembly and freedom of expression, insisting that citizens should be allowed to express their political opinions peacefully.
Despite the alleged blockade, members of the movement later took to the streets, chanting “Tinubu Must Go” and waving flags bearing the group’s branding.
The demonstration comes amid continuing political debates over governance, economic conditions and public accountability under President Bola Ahmed Tinubu’s administration.
However, the police had not publicly responded to the allegations at the time of reporting.
The circumstances surrounding the incident remain subject to further clarification.
