Hoodlums vandalise NCC office, set vehicles ablaze at Kano High Court

Hoodlums burn vehicles parked at the Kano State High Court on Thursday, August 1, 2024

Hoodlums took advantage of the #EndBadGovernance nationwide protests on Thursday and set ablaze vehicles parked on the premises of the State High Court.

The newly built Nigeria Communication Commission (NCC) Industrial Park in Kano was also looted on the first day of the nationwide protests against economic hardship.

The protests, which began on Thursday, have escalated in several parts of the state, where police have reportedly used teargas to disperse demonstrators.

The unrest in Kano saw not only the NCC Industrial Park targeted but also parts of the Audu Bako Secretariat looted and set on fire.

Other establishments, such as supermarkets and mosques, were also attacked by the rioting youths.

Governor Abba Yusuf has since declared a 24-hour curfew across the state.
