The Kano State Police Command announces movement restrictions in two local government areas ahead of the Dawakin Kudu/Warawa Federal Constituency bye-election. The restrictions apply in Dawakin Kudu and Warawa Local Government Areas and cover both vehicular and pedestrian movement during the election period leading up to polling on Saturday, June 20, 2026. The directive is presented as part of security measures for the by-election for the House of Representatives seat associated with the Dawakin Kudu/Warawa federal constituency.
Both outlets report that the police instruction is limited to the affected LGAs and is issued to control movement to support orderly voting and security arrangements. The reporting does not detail specific enforcement locations, duration beyond the election period, or any incidents. The police directive is framed as a pre-election operational measure intended to manage activity within the constituencies where voters will go to cast ballots on election day.
