#EndHunger protest commences in Taraba
Hundreds of youth and women began protests in Jalingo on Thursday.
Protesters gathered at the Angwan Gadi, Emir of Jalingo’s roundabout, marched to the Government House junction and proceeded to Barde/Hanmaruwa way, causing a traffic jam.
As they moved, several other youths waiting patiently in several strategic areas joined as the number of protesters increased.
Some youths carrying placards and the rest chanting, “Bamu a yinka” and “Mai kaman da biri”, now numbering over 500, were marching through the busy Jalingo roads.
Some of their placard inscriptions stated, “Bring back fuel subsidy” and “End Hunger”.
Roads and markets were deserted as many shops closed.
