In a bold move, protesters have reemerged in Tudun Wada within Nassarawa Local Government Area of Kano State, despite the 24-hour curfew enforced by Governor Abba Yusuf.

The curfew was momentarily eased for five hours to allow Muslim worshippers to attend Jumaat prayers.

During this brief respite, a sizable group of youths gathered on the bridge between Tudun Murtala and Tudun Wada wards, expressing their frustrations with the current economic hardships.

Many carried placards, and the atmosphere was filled with chanting and clapping as they marched.

A young leader addressed the crowd before they took to the streets.

The police later intervened to disperse protesters, who were stationed on Sani Marshall Road in Nassarawa Local Government Area.

During the incident, one individual was detained and taken into custody.
