The hunger protest in Kaduna has escalated into violence, with a large group of protesters setting fire to the Headquarters of the Kaduna State Traffic Law Enforcement Agency (KASTLEA).
The protest which was hitherto peaceful, turned violent as the protesters in their hundreds were marching back to Ahmedu Bello Way from Kaduna Government House through Sokoto Road.
The protesters also looted property at the KASTLEA headquarters and private residences around the office.
The Overseeing Commissioner for Internal Security and Home Affairs, Mr. Samuel Aruwan confirmed the development.
