Men of the Kaduna State Police Command have barricaded the road leading to the Government House in the state capital following the #EndbadGovernance protest which turned violent on Thursday.
A combined team of security operatives, including the police, civil defence, and state vigilance service members, mounted a barricade along the Government House road to prevent hoodlums from accessing the area and surrounding communities.
The police authorities have urged parents and guardians to restrain their wards from disturbing public peace during protests, warning them to take such tendencies seriously.
In a statement on Friday, the state police spokesman, Mansir Hassan, advised groups intending to protest to liaise with the Commissioner of Police to ensure a peaceful protest.
Hassan noted that the protest was hijacked by hoodlums who attempted to gain access to the Government House, injured two policemen, and damaged a police armored personnel carrier.
Many residents still stayed indoors for fear of the unknown while public transportation systems operated at reduced capacity.
Still, many shops and businesses in areas along Junction Road, Ahmadu Bello Way closed their doors as traders stayed away from the market.
