The 16th Emir of Kano, Alhaji Muhammadu Sanusi II, has called on the people not to allow themselves to be used as agents of destruction in Kano, the north and the country at large.
The Emir spoke just as news broke that protesters had returned to the streets despite the curfew imposed to check widespread violence.
Daily Trust had reported how protesters regrouped in Tudun Wada of Nassarawa Local Government Area of Kano, on Friday afternoon.
They regrouped after Governor Abba Kabir Yusuf relaxed the curfew to enable Muslim faithful observe Jumaat.
Our correspondent saw youth converging on the bridge demarcating Tudun Murtala and Tudun Wada wards.
Many of them wielded placards while others sang and clapped as they marched on after a young man addressed them.
At a press conference held at his Gidan Rumfa palace Friday evening, the first-class monarch expressed deep concern over how public and private properties were looted and vandalised owing to the protest that was billed to be peaceful demonstration against hunger and hardship in the country.
The Emir said what happened is a setback to the state, the northern region and the country at large.
