The peaceful protest against bad governance turned violent in Kaduna on Thursday, leaving no fewer than three youths dead and many other protesters injured.
An eyewitness said the number of protesters, mostly youths and the unemployed, outnumbered the security operatives.
They marched from the Rigasa area, and from the Abakwa end, towards the Sir Kashim Ibrahim House, the official residence and office of the state governor.
The eyewitness said: “We were matching peacefully and no one was carrying any offensive weapon.
“I think the security operatives near the Government House were threatened by our large number.
“Suddenly, a vehicle that they use in spraying hot water on protesters, came speeding towards us from the Government House axis.
