Protest Day 1: Youths Locked Down Major Roads, Government House In Sokoto

The protesters, holding placards with different inscriptions singing, are calling on the government to re-introduce fuel subsidy and revert the exchange rate to N400 per $1.

These, according to them, are the main causes of hunger, poverty, inflation, and general untold hardship across the country.

The protesters, united in their cause, first gathered at Alu bridge on Kano road, grouped themselves from different locations passing through Ali Akilu, Gawon Nama, Arkilla, Unguwar Rogo, Gagi to Tamaje, and moved through Government House roundabout, Round Mairuwa and converged on Government House.

However, combined security operatives prevented their entry into the Government House.

Security operatives are currently patrolling the streets in various locations, while business activities and public offices are moving hitch-free.

However, during the protest, some groups vandalised metallic wares and placed them on the streets along Ahmadu Bello Way.
