Amid nationwide protests over economic hardship and rising living costs, protesters have stormed former President Muhammadu Buhari’s residence in Daura, Katsina State.
The protesters, expressing their discontent with the current administration, blocked key routes including the Mai’adua-Daura and Katsina road, disrupting traffic and daily activities.
The nationwide protest, which commenced earlier today, witnessed Nigerians from various states and the Federal Capital Territory (FCT) taking to the streets in a unified display of frustration against the Federal Government led by President Bola Tinubu. The protests have been fueled by growing dissatisfaction with economic policies and the increasing cost of living.
Despite President Tinubu’s efforts, along with those of his ministers and security agencies, to manage or contain the unrest, the protests have surged across the country with significant intensity.
In a video circulating online, protesters are seen creating a dramatic scene as they storm the residence of former President Muhammadu Buhari in Daura, Katsina State. The footage captures the scale of the unrest and the protesters' determination to make their voices heard.
