Deadly Clashes Erupt in Northern Nigeria Amid #EndBadGovernance Protests

Nationwide protests against economic hardship in Nigeria turned violent on the first day, Thursday, August 1, resulting in deadly clashes in northern regions. Businesses across the country remained shut as the demonstrations continued.

According to SBM Intelligence, at least 16 people lost their lives on the first day of the protests, with fatalities reported in Abuja, Kano, Kaduna, Niger, Borno, and Jigawa. The demonstration, which began peacefully, turned violent in some cities, leading to clashes between police and protesters.

News Central TV reported that one person was shot dead in both Kano and Abuja, while two were killed in Jigawa. Additionally, six people were reportedly shot by security forces in Niger, four in Borno, and three in Kaduna. The police continued to fire tear gas at protesters as they regrouped on Friday, August 2.
