Kano roundabout was demolished because of the cross sign, says SSG | TheCable

Baffa Bichi, secretary to the Kano government, says one of the reasons the roundabout was demolished was because of the Christian cross sign on the structure. Bichi spoke on Thursday

Baffa Bichi, secretary to the Kano government, says one of the reasons the roundabout was demolished was because of the Christian cross sign on the structure.“Over 9.99 or 100 percent of Kano indigenes are Muslims. So you can’t have a structure with a large inscription of the cross on it. It’s against Islamic values,” he said.

“Also, the structure is too tall to be placed in front of the government house as it defaces its main gate which blocks the view for security surveillance.“Additionally, it poses traffic challenges around the area because of its size, blocking the view of drivers accessing all routes linked through the roundabout.”

But during the interview, the SSG said there are other structures with cross signs in Kano, adding that the government is working to remove the symbols.
