Kano, Nigeria – The city of Kano has been gripped by unrest as the #EndBadGovernance protests have turned violent, with clashes between security forces and protesters resulting in widespread destruction. A disturbing video has emerged, showing a police officer openly threatening to kill protesters.
In the midst of the chaos, the officer, speaking in Hausa, is heard warning protesters to continue their looting and stone-throwing. “Keep looting. Is it because I did not do what I had done to them? Those throwing stones should not stop. I swear to God, if police officers bleed, I will kill. I swear to God I will kill,” the officer is seen saying.
The unrest in Kano has seen hoodlums targeting both government and private properties, leading to a tense standoff with security forces. In an effort to restore order, authorities have imposed a curfew under the orders of Governor Abba Kabir Yusuf. However, some protesters have continued to defy the restrictions, challenging security forces on the streets.
The situation has reached a boiling point at the Government House in Kano, with the city’s residents living in fear of further violence. The authorities’ response to the crisis has been met with widespread criticism, with many calling for greater accountability and transparency.
The latest developments in Kano serve as a stark reminder of the ongoing struggle for good governance in Nigeria, and the need for meaningful reforms to address the root causes of the country’s political unrest.
