The hunger protest in Kaduna has escalated into violence, with demonstrators setting the headquarters of the Kaduna State Traffic Law Enforcement Agency (KASTLEA) on fire.
The hitherto peaceful protest, turned violent as hundreds of protesters marched back to Ahmedu Bello Way from the Kaduna Government House via Sokoto Road. In addition to the arson, protesters looted property at the KASTLEA headquarters and nearby private residences.
Protesters have also defied a court order, continuing their demonstration outside Freedom and Peace parks in Lagos.
The Overseeing Commissioner for Internal Security and Home Affairs, Mr. Samuel Aruwan, has confirmed the situation.
