The hunger protest in Kaduna has escalated into violence, with a large number of protesters setting fire to the headquarters of the Kaduna State Traffic Law Enforcement Agency (KASTLEA).
Initially peaceful, the protest took a violent turn as hundreds of demonstrators marched from the Kaduna Government House along Sokoto Road back to Ahmadu Bello Way.
During the chaos, protesters looted property at the KASTLEA headquarters and nearby private residences.
Mr. Samuel Aruwan, the Overseeing Commissioner for Internal Security and Home Affairs, confirmed the situation.
