In the face of the ongoing #EndSARS protest, the Kano Emirate Council has on Wednesday told protesters to implore dialogue instead of riot approach to press home their demands.

The Emirate Council in a statement by the Senior Councillor (Galadiman Kano), Alhaji Abbas Sanusi made available to newsmen in the state called on the residents to embrace peace to ensure their demands are meant.

Sanusi said he is optimistic that the leaders are ever ready to listen and address their problems.

According to him, “we are calling on the general public to embrace peace because it is when there is peace that there can be development. When there is no peace, there won’t be development.
