Violence broke out in Southern Kaduna this morning as
hundreds of youths and women took to the streets to protest the shooting of
locals by some armed soldiers stationed in the area.
The protests followed a shooting incident that occurred in
Manchok, a small town on the border of Plateau state.
The protesters were said to have cycled the soldiers after they
shot indiscriminately at locals injuring two students and other locals, many of
whom were rushed to the hospital for treatment.
A source at the scene said that the women and youths
barricaded the road connecting travelers around Vom-Manchok road to Kafanchan
and Abuja while others converged at the palace of the chief to demand justice.
