Security operatives have arrested more than five hoodlums around Audu Bako Way, in Kano State who looted shops and offices around the area under the guise of hardship protest.
Bags of rice, cartons of noodles, bags of salt and sugar, gallons of groundnut oils and furniture were stolen by the hoodlums that broke into shops and offices.
The Daily Reality repoter who went on the field reported that Rufaida Yoghurt shop and Oasis Bakery along Hadejia Road were stormed by the protesters.
The angry youths have looted and stolent properties worth millions of naira.
However, in the course of the arrest, the security operatives were stoned and had to resort to firing teargas to disperse the crowd that wanted to overpower them.
Some of the looters ran into houses around the area with the stolen items which led to the security operatives pursuing them to ensure arrest.
Hundreds of other protesters were also seen chanting we are not thieves, we are protesting to protect our rights on Audu Bako Way, Lodge Road and parts of State Road.
