Protester shot in Borno, citizens scamper for safety

Things have taken a turn for the worse in Borno State as a protester was reportedly shot in the early hours of Thursday.
Daily Sun reports that citizens in different parts of the country have trooped to the streets in the August 1 protest to express their frustrations over the economic hardship.

In a video uploaded by News Central on X, a correspondent at the protest ground in Maiduguri, Borno State gave a situation report to the TV presenter.

The moment was interrupted by the discovery of a protester who had been gunned down following the report of gunshots being fired earlier.

“People are protesting now in Maiduguri, Borno State capital and we’ve heard the sound of gunshots or is it something like that… This is the situation.

“We will get to the attack… One person is down!”, the correspondent shared.

When asked if the development is in regard to the protest, the correspondent answered in the affirmative while running to avoid being hit by stray bullets.

“Are they shooting at people”, the TV presenter asked, to which the correspondent answered, “Yes.”

Better be fake news

Nunam:
Better be fake news

not fake o. Protesters were shot.

Ghen ghen ghen ghen...

Millitary will let this peaceful protest lead to riot

E no concern me.

If this leads to riots, do the security operatives think they can manage the situation?

These are the kinds of things that make matters escalate. Just shelve your guns and use non lethal weapons in dealing with criminals.

But why are the protesters scampering for safety
