Youths in Jega area of Kebbi State at the weekend destroyed the posters of President Bola Ahmed Tinubu and state Governor Nasir Idris.
The youths were protesting against the ruling All Progressives Congress, APC.
The protesters comprising mainly youths were returning from a football match on Saturday when they started shouting ‘bamaso’, (we don’t want) and started destroying the APC posters.
The youths who were protesting along the major roads in the town were also seen stoning and destroying APC posters and billboards that were mounted in strategic areas within the town.
They also destroyed and broke windscreens of many vehicles belonging to a car dealer located in the area, during the protest.
Daily trust was not able to immediately verify the reasons behind their action.
However, security operatives were latter deployed to the area and the protesting youths were dispersed before normalcy was restored in the town.
Meanwhile, addressing a press conference on the development, APC state publicity secretary, Isah Assalafi, demanded a full investigation and prosecution of perpetrators.
He called on security agencies to “act decisively, investigate thoroughly and prosecute every person found responsible for the protest”, saying “Nobody should be shielded by political affiliation, position or influence”.
