The bridge is strategic because it is along the road leading to the residence of the deputy governor who is from Gwarzo town.
Residents of Gwarzo town in the Kano North Senatorial District are protesting the “planned demolition” of a bridge constructed by an opposition lawmaker.
A driver, Sule Wanzam, who witnessed the protest said residents started protesting on Friday after they learned that the Kano State government was reportedly planning to demolish the bridge so as to build a better one. The protest continued on Saturday morning. He explained that Mr Jibrin did not obtain an approval before repairing the bridge, which is on a state government road.
“The problem emanated from the reluctance to seek approval before embarking on the work. If they had sought our approval we would have briefed them about our level of engagement about the repairing of the bridge.
