THE #EndBadGovernance protests in Katsina State turned violent on Thursday as some hoodlums looted properties.
Several persons were said to have died after some miscreants reportedly hijacked the protest, looting various shops and vandalising property belonging to the residents.
This happened before the protesters arrived at the destination of their planned demonstrations.
Some security personnel were forced to fire several gunshots at the protesting youths to maintain law and order which in turn, dispersed the aggrieved protesters.
News Point Nigeria learned that some of the victims including police officers and a DPO, were given various medical treatments at a clinic the Katsina State Government House.
However, efforts to speak to the Police spokesman Abubakar Sadiq proved abortive as his phone number was not reachable for comment.
