The ICT centre, scheduled for commissioning next week, was also set ablaze during the unrest.
Consequently, Kano State Governor Abba Yusuf has declared a 24-hour curfew across the state.
“We are deeply concerned by the turn of events and are taking all necessary measures to restore order.
“I urge all residents to remain indoors as security agencies work to enforce the curfew,” he stated.
