After two days of normalcy, the hunger protest on Monday, August 5, took a new dimension in Kaduna, as the protesters regrouped, marching on the major streets and waving the Russian flag.
After the vandalization of some government agencies and private property on the first day of the protest, which forced the security operatives to disperse the protesters, normalcy returned to Kaduna, as there was no protest on Friday, Saturday, and Sunday.
However, on Monday, the fifth day of the nationwide protest, the protesters, mainly youths and underage children, were seen regrouping around the city center, waving the Russian flag.
The protesters were not seen with any placards stating their demands, except with leaves and flags.
The protesters were chanting ‘bama so’ meaning we don’t want.
One of the protesters said they had to come out again because President Bola Ahmed Tinubu in his Sunday morning address, did not announce the return of fuel subsidy.
The protester who refused to mention his name also said, that they were carrying the Russian flag because they wanted the Russian government to rescue them from the Nigerian Government.
The security operatives dispersed them, as the protesters attempted to occupy the popular NEPA Roundabout and block the Ahmadu Bello Way.
The latest development has however caused panic within the town, as people who had hitherto opened for businesses were forced to close down.
