Youths Hurl Stones at Buhari’s Convoy in Kano

Malik Yahya/

Some angry Kano youths dared the security presence by openly attacking President Muhammadu Buhari’s Chopper hovering above them on his way to the inauguration sites of some projects in the city.

There was a fierce battle between the irate youths and security operatives, who kept on their toes to ensure sanity on the routes leading to the sites for the inauguration of the projects on Ahmadu Bello Way.

Besides Hotoro and a few other venues, Buhari flew aboard his Chopper to the Emir’s palace, where he paid homage to Emir Aminu Ado Bayero before driving in a convoy to commission Galaxy Backbone Limited Project, during which there were minor skirmishes with the youths, who were hauling stones of various sizes from a distance, to avoid being caught by heavily armed security operatives providing security for the President and his convoy.
