Despite the State Government’s ban on protests, youths across various parts of Katsina metropolis have continue to hold rallies.
Several troops of protesters were seen moving in groups within Katsina metropolis holding Russian flags as they chanted various slogans.
They converged on open fields at Yammawa, Filin Kanada, Filin Samji and ATC where they held prayer sessions before proceeding to IBB Way in groups.
In the mean time, riots broke out in many parts of Katsina town as policemen used tear gas to disperse protesters that held Russian flags and wore shirts with stripes of the Russian flag.
Police also dispersed groups of protesters that played the old National Anthem on mp3 players at Kofar Kaura and Sabuwar Unguwa.
Meanwhile as the twelve-hour curfew lingers, policemen and civil defence operatives have been deployed to major junctions to prevent the breakdown of law and order in the metropolis.
