GLOBAL TRACKER learned that youth in Birnin Kebbi, the state capital and Yauri town took the streets to protest with placards tagged “End Bad Governance” chanting slogan “Mungaji da mulkin zalunci” we are tired of unfaithful rule.
The protest in the state capital went peacefully with security being beefed off at strategic places but in Yauri was violent.
In Yauri town, one person was confirmed dead. An eye witness told GLOBAL TRACKER that, the victim was not among the protesters saying, the man was in his shop when bullet hit him and he died at the hospital.
Similarly, the eye witness also said hoodlums that hijacked the peaceful protest went to Yauri market and start looting shops but security agencies dispased the protesters.
