Protest: Police arrests 212 suspects for looting, vandalism in Jigawa

Police operatives in Jigawa have arrested 212 suspects in connection with looting, destruction, and vandalism of properties in the ongoing #EndBadGovernance protest in the state.
The state’s Commissioner of Police, Mr. Ahmadu Abdullahi, disclosed this on Saturday when he briefed journalists on measures taken by the command to restore law and order in the state.
Abdullahi said that 72 of those arrested have already been charged in court.
The CP revealed that the operatives recovered 303 bags of fertilizer, 50 motorcycles, three tricycles, 12 bicycles, nine chairs, 54 cartons of mosquito net, two bags of rice, and office furniture.
He recalled that a series of proactive measures were taken by security agencies to prevent violence and protect lives and properties ahead of the protest.
Abdullahi listed the measures taken to include surveillance, deployment of additional security personnel to potential hotspots, engagement with critical stakeholders, and monitoring social media platforms.
He, however, lamented that some unpatriotic elements were bent on destabilising the state despite efforts by the command to prevent violence during the protest.
