The News Agency of Nigeria reports that dozens of hoodlums hijacked the ongoing nationwide protest and looted agricultural commodities at the stores in Birnin Kudu, Gumel and Hadejia Local Government Areas of the state.
The police personnel and other security agents fired tear gas to disperse the rampaging youths, and maintain law and order in the affected areas.
