The Kano State Police Command on Thursday dispersed some youths who tried to break into a store along Zoo Road in the state capital amid the ongoing hunger protest in the state.

New Telegraph reports that the suspects had attempted to force their way into the two-storey building housing Sadaraki Stores.

But the police quickly moved in to stall their action. However, before the arrival of security operatives, the suspects had destroyed the windows of the building.

So far, there is low compliance with the protest against hunger in the ancient city as many residents are indoors.

Governor Abba Kabir Yusuf had, on Wednesday, said he had intelligence that evil-minded persons were plotting to hijack the protest.

The governor, who invited genuine protesters to Government House, Kano, warned troublemakers to steer clear of the state.
