Electoral officials have arrived and voting is ongoing at polling units for the local government elections slated to hold across Kano State today.
Vigilante, Transport Agency Provided Security with Sticks, local swords as Police shunned the poll.
This was after the Kano State Police Command said it would comply with a court order, restricting it from taking part in the election.
The Kano State High Court granted the Kano State Independent Electoral Commission (KANSIEC) the authority to proceed with the local government elections, nullifying all attempts by political parties to stop the exercise.
Local vigilante groups and officials of Kano Road Transport Agency, Karota are also said to be providing security at the polling units.
Justice Sanusi Ma’aji who presided over the case, ruled that KANSIEC is empowered by the Constitution to conduct, supervise, and oversee local government elections across the 44 local government areas (LGAs) in Kano State. The case was brought by KANSIEC against the All Progressives Congress (APC) and 13 other political parties.
