Operatives of the Kano State Police Command have initiated a house-to-house search to recover items stolen during the #EndbadgovernanceinNigeria protest in Kano.
The protest, initially peaceful, was hijacked by suspected hoodlums who embarked on a looting spree.
The looters raided stores, houses, and government establishments, including the yet-to-be-inaugurated office of the Nigerian Communication Commission, taking away furniture, electronic items, and more.
They also vandalised streetlights and other public decorations.
In response, the police arrested over 400 suspects and recovered some of the stolen items.
Social media user, Sa’adatu Baba Ahmad, reported that policemen stormed the Yakasai and Durumin Zungura areas in Kano Municipal to retrieve the stolen goods on Friday.
She wrote, “Since 10:30am, looted items are being recovered from the houses of people who stole property of the government and innocent people in the name of protest. Up till now, they are there invading the houses.”
At a briefing earlier on Friday, the Kano Police Command reiterated its commitment to ensure that perpetrators of the mayhem which broke out during the protest are brought to book.
