Protesters in Kaduna were seen having a joyous ride on a police armoured car during their protest against hunger and bad governance.
Nigerians embarked on a ten-day nationwide protest following the economic hardship that has crippled the nation. They are demanding an end to the high cost of living, an increase in food prices, fuel price hikes, corruption, and insecurity, among many other crises.
The protest took a different turn in some states as violence erupted, leading to the deaths of several protesters and a police officer.
In Kaduna, the protesters were seen on the streets holding placards, tree branches, and chanting songs.
A video showed some protesters riding in an armoured police vehicle. It was reported that the protesters stole the vehicle and activated the police siren, with many others hanging on the body of the car.
Also in Kaduna State, protesters were seen waving the Russian flag, an act that has been widely condemned by the Nigerian authorities.
They were also demanding that the military take over power. The CDS has issued a warning to those involved in flying foreign flags, describing it as a treasonable offence.
This has attracted several comments from Nigerians on social media.
@Thesanctuarypr3: Is it a joke or something – I like it, they should use it well – well, they should never return it, because it belongs to them as well, wetin be police?
@tamiz00: This will definitely not end well. I fear for the people of Kaduna, the aftermath won’t be funny.
@YusufELERUJA: I was told it’s the military driver that was driving the armoured tank as a form of ginger and entertainment to the peaceful protesters. Pls dig for the facts.
@wazobiati: If this was done in the south east by now, ‘Operation Let The Heavens Fall’ would have been declared.
@Salihijoo: I don’t even need to be told what happened. It was obvious that a security personnel was behind the wheels.
