Protest: Police in Kano arrest looters, recover stolen items (Pictures/Video)
Security agents have arrested more than five hoodlums around Audu Bako Way, in Kano State, for looting shops and offices during the hardship protest on Thursday.
According to reports, bags of rice, cartons of noodles, bags of salt and sugar, gallons of groundnut oils, and furniture were stolen by the hoodlums that broke into shops and offices.
In the course of the arrest, the security operatives were stoned and had to resort to firing teargas to disperse the crowd that wanted to overpower them.

Some of the looters ran into houses around the area with the stolen items which led to the security operatives pursuing them to ensure arrest.
However, hundreds of other protesters were seen chanting ‘we are not thieves, we are protesting to protect our rights’ on Audu Bako Way, Lodge Road and other areas.
