Report from Kano, the Kano state capital says, Security Operatives, have arrested more than five hoodlums around Audu Bako Way, in Kano State who looted shops and offices around the area under the guise of hardship protest.
SolaceBase observed that bags of rice, cartons of noodles, bags of salt and sugar, gallons of groundnut oils and furniture were stolen by the hoodlums that broke into shops and offices.
In the course of the arrest, according to the paper, the security operatives were stoned and had to resort to firing teargas to disperse the crowd that wanted to overpower them.
Some of the looters reportedly ran into houses around the area with the stolen items which led to the security operatives pursuing them to ensure arrest.
However, hundreds of other protesters were seen chanting “we are not thieves, we are protesting to protect our rights” on Audu Bako Way, Lodge Road and parts of State Road.
