There was a heavy fight between miscreants in Tudun Wada, Kaduna and the security operatives on Monday, as the youths continued to emerge in large number, destroying properties and looting shops.

It was the intervention of the military that restored sanity in the area.

Before the military arrived, hundreds of miscreants hauled stones and other objects at a commercial bank near the polytechnic, vandalised staff cars and stole valuables.

Activities came to an abrupt end in the area as customers and other workers were seen running away for their lives in Tudun Wada, which was tense before the curfew was imposed and soldiers deployed to the area.

The police had earlier, warned that anyone found vandalising or looting shops, would not be considered as a protester but a criminal.

The Police had reportedly arrested several persons who were supplying the protesters with Russian flags and other offensive items used during the protest. (Vanguard)
