One Firdausi Muhammad is said to have been killed in Saturday’s hunger protest in Zaria, Kaduna State.
The deceased, a bride-to-be, according to the report by Daily Trust was billed to walk down the aisle next week, saying a stray bullet, allegedly from the rifle of a policeman in Rijiyar Lemo, during the protest on Saturday led to her death.
The publication also said that four teenagers also suffered similar fate in both Kano and Kaduna states.
“As he was leaving home, I asked him where he was going to, but he told me that he was going outside to see his friends. I warned him not to join the protest. He said he would not. Only for me to be called and informed that he was killed. And that is all,” it quoted the mother of one 15-year-old Kashifu Abdullahi Gyaranya, who was also killed during the protest, Maryam Sani, as saying.
