Many of the items looted by hoodlums during during #EndBadGovernance protest in Kano have been recovered by the security operatives, Iwitnesslive can report.
Report suggested that men of the Kano Police Command on Friday launched a house-to-house search in a bid to recover some of the loot.
It will be recalled that the protest in Kano turned violent after it was hijacked by hoodlums leading to widespread looting.
They raided stores, houses, and government establishments, such as the yet-to-be-commissioned office of the Nigerian Communication Commission (NCC), where they carted away furniture, and electronic items, among others.
The mob also vandalised street lights and other items used to decorate public places.
However, the police, which swung into action and arrested over 400 suspects, recovered some of the items.
Sa’adatu Baba Ahmad, a social media user, had posted updates on how policemen stormed the Yakasai and Durumin Zungura areas in Kano Municipal to recover the items.
She wrote, “Since 10:30 am, looted items are being recovered from the houses of people who stole properties of the government and innocent people in the name of protest. Up till now, they are there invading the houses.”
At a briefing earlier on Friday, the Kano Police Command reiterated its commitment to ensure that perpetrators of the mayhem which broke out during the protest are brought to book.
