HARDSHIP PROTEST: Buhari House, Emir’s Palace Safe, Not Attacked

Usman Ibrahim Yaro, the spokesman for the Emir of Daura and known as “Sarkin Labarai Daura,” has refuted media reports that protesters targeted both President Buhari’s house and the Emir’s palace in Daura during the August 1, demonstrations.

In an interview, Yaro clarified that the protesters did not approach either residence but were simply passing by.

He added that while the protesters did destroy signboards in front of houses belonging to politicians in Daura, they did not touch those in front of Buhari’s and the Emir’s residences.

He said: ’’The protesters never touched Buhari and Emir’s houses, so the news reports and viral videos were fake’’

‘’No violent protests in Daura, people mostly engaged in weddings during the lockdowns and curfew periods from 10am to 4pm,each day.’’
