Kano Market Residents Given 7 Day Ultimatum To Vacate Premises
Due to alleged illegal activities, including prostitution, adultery, homosexuality, and other immoral activities, occurring within and around the Kwanar Gafan Tomato Market, the Garun Malam Local Government Area Council of Kano State has decided to close the market indefinitely.
Barrister Aminu Salisu Kadawa, the local government chairman, gave the order during the area’s economic recovery plan unveiling.
According to Barrister Kadawa, the market had strayed from the initial purpose that motivated its creation and was now being used as a haven and a hub for non-profit endeavors rather than for commercial purposes as intended.
With a red line warning anyone caught disobeying the law will face legal action against him, he warned the market’s residents to vacate the area before the threat was realized.
“After the measures that will return the market to its current state are finished, we will announce a date for its reopening.
Modern firms including agricultural products and other more-than-ray products will be able to operate in the new market.
