The Police Command in Kaduna State reports that hoodlums have damaged the offices of the Kaduna State Traffic and Law Environmental Authority (KASTLEA) and the Kaduna Investment Promotions Agency (KADIPA) under the pretense of protesting.
The command’s spokesperson, ASP Mansir Hassan, confirmed the incidents to the News Agency of Nigeria (NAN) on Thursday in Kaduna.
Hassan stated, “The protesters also burnt an Armoured Personnel Carrier (APC) and looted many shops.
“They tried to invade Government House but were prevented. Many of our personnel sustained injuries and they are receiving treatment at various hospitals.”
He added that 23 suspects have been detained, denying that operatives used live ammunition and stating that they only fired teargas.
