Protesters waving Russian flags and chanting in the streets of Kastina
Several protesters on Monday took to the streets in Katsina State, waving the Russian flag and tree leaves.
They were spotted chatting APC hunger. We are not in support in their local language. The All Progressives Congress (APC) is the ruling party in Nigeria.
The protesters mostly young people and children kick-started the protest from the late President Umaru Musa YarAduas family house at YarAdua quarters in Katsina and matched through Kofar Durbi street down to the defunct Yar-Kutungu Market, chanting Hunger is killing us.
The fresh protest came barely three days after relative peace had returned to the state in the wake of the violence that greeted the first few days of the #EndBadGovernance protests.
But police officers fired tear gas to disperse the protesters. The demonstrations started nationwide on August 1, 2024, and would last for ten days, according to the organisers. (Channels TV)
