Arise News reports that protests rocked Niger State on Monday as some youths and women resented what they perceived as mass purchase of food items for hoarding and export outside the country, as the National Association of Nigerian Students (NANS) in a statement by its Senate President, Akinteye Babatunde, threatened to embark on street protests should the Federal Government fail to address inflation that has impoverished students across the country.
The Police Public Relations Officer (PPRO), DSP Wasiu Abiodun, said the police “had to use minimum force to disperse the protesters when all efforts to convince them to stop their action failed.”
