The People of Kano are now violently protesting against the alleged killing of a 17-year-old boy Saifullahi of Kofar Mata quarters who said to have been arrested 2 days ago by the police, while he was sleeping at his family house.
Viral reports say 17 year old Saifullahi had been released on bail only for the police to re-arrest and detain him again, where he was allegedly tortured to death, despite protests by the people of the community that he was never known for any criminal tendencies.
He allegedly gave up the ghost in the prison after being tortured for too long.
The police brought his corpse to the family house this morning, Monday, a development which angered the people to take to the streets and they started making bonfires in protests.
