Africa-Press – Nigeria. <\/strong><\/span>A police operative in Kano, where the protest against bad governance and hardship has snowballed into violence, was captured on video openly threatening to kill protesters.<\/p>\n

The unrest in the northern ancient city saw hoodlums looting both government and private properties, leading to clashes with security forces.<\/p>\n

The violent outbreak reached a peak at the Government House in Kano, prompting authorities to implement a curfew on Governor Abba Kabir Yusuf\u2019s orders.<\/p>\n

Some protesters, however, defied the restrictions and continued to challenge security forces on the streets.<\/p>\n

A video circulating online depicts a policeman, speaking in Hausa, threatening protesters amidst the chaos.<\/p>\n

The officer was heard saying: \u201cKeep looting. Is it because I did not do what I had done to them? Those throwing stones should not stop. I swear to God, if police officers bleed, I will kill. I swear to God I will kill.\u201d<\/p>\n
