An eyewitness, Malam Umar Bako Yelwa, who narrated what happened said the protest became violent when protesters blocked the federal highway in Yauri town.
He added that while marine police fired bullets to disperse the crowd, a stray bullet hit and killed the innocent plastic seller in his shop.
Another eyewitness however said “the police were shooting indiscriminately despite the peaceful procession by the protesters thereby killing an innocent man.”
The Kebbi State Police Command has not reacted to the development.
The development has not stopped protests in other parts of the state as they were seen chanting “end bad governance”, “bring back fuel subsidy” among others.
