Angry Youths Storm Yobe Government House Over Economic Hardships
Recently, the Yobe State Government House in Damaturu was overrun by irate youths protesting against economic hardships and bad governance.
These protests, part of a broader national movement, saw demonstrators expressing their frustration over poor economic conditions and accusing elected officials of corruption and neglect.
The protests began on August 1, 2024, with demands for the restoration of fuel subsidies, improved food security, and solutions to unemployment.
The situation escalated as protesters attacked properties belonging to political leaders, including a senator and a House of Representatives member, accusing them of siphoning public funds and failing to develop their constituencies.
Similar protests have erupted in other states like Jigawa, with demonstrations scheduled to continue until August 10, 2024.
