Protest: Hoodlums loot warehouses in Jigawa

Some suspected hoodlums, on Thursday, August 1, 2024, vandalised the warehouses of the Jigawa Agricultural Supply Company (JASCO), looting fertilisers and inputs.

Scores of hoodlums hijacked the ongoing nationwide protest and looted agricultural commodities at the warehouses in Birnin Kudu, Gumel, and Hadejia Local Government Areas of Jigawa State.

Police operatives and other security agents fired teargas to disperse the rampaging youths and maintain law and order in the affected areas.
