Police and government authorities have reported the spread of property destruction, and shop looting in Kaduna, Plateau, and Bauchi as hoodlums hijacked the protests to wreak havoc. This is also as rioters were arrested in Abuja and some other parts of the North with Russian flags. A similar incident happened in Kano State, and the police said they have arrested the tailor responsible for the mass production of the flag.
