Which lockdown? Do the people of Kano obey any lockdown? The only people that can force them to obey are Imams

The way Kano people are disobeying the lockdown order is just too much. in Naibawa here, everyone is going about their daily activities freely without fear of any repercussion. I think declaring lockdown alone is not enough, govt must see to its enforcement as well.
