The President, Major General Muhammadu Buhari (retd.), on Thursday, commenced a two-day official visit to his home state, Katsina.
This is as some youths staged a protest shortly after he inaugurated one of the projects slated for opening during his stay in the state.
The youths staged the protest a few minutes after the President inaugurated the Kofar Kaoran Underpass in Katsina.
The President had finished the inauguration of the underpass and left when the youths stormed the underpass and started shouting “Bamuyi’; Bamuyi’’ (Hausa language literally translated to mean “We are not interested”).
The youths were also throwing stones at the vehicles in the convoy of state government officials departing the venue.
They were also about to make bonfires on the newly inaugurated underpass when security operatives started firing teargas to disperse them.
The youths subsequently dispersed in different directions including along Kofa Kwaya Road and along the ‘Alliance Bread’ area.
