The secretary to the Kano government, Baffa Bichi, says one of the reasons the roundabout was demolished was because of the cross sign on the structure.
Bishi who spoke on Thursday during an interview with Freedom Radio, noted that almost 100 percent of Kano is Muslim.
“Over 9.99 or 100 percent of Kano indigenes are Muslims. So you can’t have a structure with a large inscription of the cross on it. It’s against Islamic values,” he said.
He said the roundabout near government house was built so tall and was obstructing motorists from having a proper view of the road.
