Africa-Press – Nigeria. <\/strong><\/span>The Kaduna State Government on Saturday banned any form of religious protest, just as it warned that any violator will be prosecuted.<\/p>\n

This warning was handed down by Samuel Aruwan,<\/p>\n

Commissioner, Ministry of Internal Security and Home Affairs, Kaduna State in a statement he issued on Saturday<\/p>\n

According to him, the prohibition becomes imperative in view of moves by some unpatriotic elements to organize series of for-and-against protests related to a security development in one of the Northern Nigerian States.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe Kaduna State Government, in consultation with security agencies under the umbrella of the Kaduna State Security Council, has placed a ban on protests related to religious activity throughout the State with immediate effect,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n

According to him, Governor Nasir Ahmad El-Rufai, who has been briefed of the development, has charged security agencies to ensure strict enforcement of this ban against any form of religious protest in the state.<\/p>\n

He said the governor also charged religious leaders, community leaders and traditional rulers throughout the state to complement the efforts of government and security agencies towards the maintenance of peace and stability.<\/p>\n

\u201cSecurity agencies have thus resolved that any attempt by individuals or groups to disrupt the peace and stability of the State, by way of religious protests, will not be condoned.<\/p>\n

\u201cSuch protests will be promptly halted, and conveners prosecuted,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n

The statement further enjoined citizens to remain calm as they go about their lawful pursuits, and to immediately report any such activity or security concern to the Kaduna State Security Operations Room.<\/p>\n
