Jigawa: APC Secretariat Set Ablaze Amidst Protests

On Thursday, a group of hoodlums launched a violent attack on the State Secretariat of the All Progressives Congress (APC) in Dutse, the capital of Jigawa State.

The assailants set fire to vehicles parked at the premises, causing significant damage.

In the Hadejia area of Jigawa, the #EndBadGovernance protests also turned violent, with demonstrators clashing with security forces.

Protesters who marched to the Government House in the state capital were forcibly dispersed by security agents.

The unrest extended to neighbouring Kano State, where hoodlums exploited the nationwide #EndBadGovernance protests to set ablaze vehicles parked at the State High Court.

Also, the newly built Nigeria Communication Commission (NCC) Industrial Park in Kano was looted on the first day of the protests.

The protests, which began on Thursday in response to economic hardship, have rapidly escalated in both Kano and Jigawa States, part of the North-West geopolitical zone.

In response to the unrest, Governor Abba Yusuf of Kano State has declared a 24-hour curfew to restore order.
