The 24 hour curfew imposed on Kano State by Governor Abba Kabiru Yusuf, in the wake of the violence that trailed the #EndBadGovernance end bad governance protest in the state has started to take its toll on the residents.
Worst hit are daily income earners who have been unable to source fresh cash  to run the affairs of the families, compared to salary earners who have just received their monthly salaries through digital transfers, according to a report by a Daily Query correspondent in Kano.
The residents in this category include market women and traders, commercial transporters, food sellers, casual workers in factories, roadside vendors of various sorts as well as low profile hook-up ladies and prostitutes, among others.
While some residents had made sufficient arrangements ahead of the protest by stocking their kitchens for a day or two, a majority did not see the curfew coming and had made little or no arrangements to cushion the effect of such an eventuality.
In addition to this is the fact that the police and sister security agencies implementing the curfew at various checkpoints in the metropolis have been very strict, consequent upon which movements from one area to another are almost impossible except for residents on special duties.
Sunday Sun gathered that this has led to restriction in the transpiration of food items from one market point to another point.
John Okafor, who resides at Jaba area in Umgogo Local Government Area of the State said that sourcing what to eat by residents residing far from markets has been difficult, adding that when and where they are available, they are very exorbitant .
He appealed to the Governor to create a window period for residents to move quickly to markets and buy their needs even as he did not support an outright relaxation of the curfew until the security situation has been brought under control.
