This newspaper learnt that four people died at the scene while 16 others sustained severe gunshot injuries. Some of the injured are said to be in critical condition.

Ah, the Nigerian army, doing what they do best.

Its a big lie no body burn any tire and no body shot any soldier with arrow, please fear God and remember the judgement day. This innocent people were just killed/injured by hungry blood suckers.

Can't they go to kano why is Nigeria like this ?

That is 4.7% of total deaths from COVID-19 in the whole country. Smh...

Must we record deaths during civilian lockdown? Why used life rounds for enforcement?

What difference has democracy brought to us? I even support the Military to take over because democracy has no moral values in Nigeria.

Is better to enforce lockdown Oh. People are dying in tens.

Allah ya saka musu
