Hundreds of youth and women have carried out the hunger protest in Jalingo, the Taraba State capital.
Our Correspondent, who monitored the situation in Jalingo reports that protesters who gathered at the Angwan Gadi, Emir of Jalingo’s round-about marched to government house junction and thereafter, proceeded to Barde/Hanmaruwa way causing traffic jam.
As they moved, several other youths who were waiting patiently in several strategic areas joined as the numbers of protesters continue to increase.
Some of the youths carried placards while others chanted, “Bamu a yinka” “Mai kama da b*r” numbering over 500 as they marched through the busy Jalingo roads.
Some of their placards inscriptions read, “Bring back fuel subsidy” “End Hunger” among others.
