The Kano State Governor, ABDULLAHI GANDUJE, has warned that anyone who refuses to wear face masks in Kano risk jail term.

The governor, who gave the directive at the bi-weekly media parley to update newsmen on the coronavirus pandemic situation in the state, also lamented that some residents have continued to violate the social distancing order.

He expressed reservations on the laxity of security agents in enforcing compliance by residents.

Governor GANDUJE spoke against the politicization of the evacuation of the almajiris to their respective states by some governors, adding that the decision to send back almajirias to their states of origin was a unanimous agreement by northern governors.
