Hunger protest loses steam as DSS grills seven foreigners

The hunger protests across northern Nigeria, sparked by economic hardships, have weakened following police crackdowns and arrests.

Demonstrations in major cities were marked by violence, with security forces and overzealous protesters clashing.

Authorities detained 873 protesters and seven Polish nationals for waving Russian flags.

President Bola Tinubu urged for peace, while international bodies like the UK, US, and ECOWAS called for dialogue.

Despite the unrest, some areas have lifted curfews as tensions ease.

However, the protests highlight the broader issues of governance and economic challenges facing the nation.
