What was supposed to be a peaceful protest has turned violent in some parts of the country, with the rampaging protesters looting, razing and vandalizing public buildings.

Worst hit are Kano, Kaduna, Maiduguri and Minna.

NEWSTODAYNG gathered that some people were shot dead in Maiduguri while six were allegedly killed in Niger state.

The yet-to-be-commissioned Nigeria Communication Commission (NCC) Digital Industrial Park in Kano was completely looted and set ablaze.
Street fighting broke out between protesters and security personnel in Kaduna, where tear gas was allegedly fired.

However, no protests have surfaced in the Southeast, similar to Ekiti, Ondo, and other states in the Southwest.
