Protesters Clash with Security Forces in Dutse Despite 24-Hour Curfew
In Jigawa State, defiant protesters have taken to the streets of Dutse once more, disregarding a 24-hour curfew imposed by the state government.
The curfew was enacted following significant violence and property damage that occurred on the first day of a nationwide protest.
Currently, security forces are engaged in efforts to control the demonstrators in the Zai area of the city.
Reports indicate that despite the deployment of teargas, protesters continue to resist and have even set up roadblocks, causing ongoing clashes with security personnel.
In the Shuwarin area, located on the outskirts of Dutse, protesters have regrouped and resumed their demonstrations for a second consecutive day.
They are making persistent attempts to advance into the central areas of the state capital but are facing resistance from security forces who are actively working to block their progress.
An eyewitness from Shuwarin reported that several protesters, including minors, have been detained by the police.
In contrast, the situation in Gumel town remains relatively peaceful, as security operatives have effectively closed off major roads to prevent any regrouping of protesters.

They described their story and how they escaped to the police, giving insight into what happened to them over the past few years.
A security analyst who was present at the narration gave a brief summary of what had occurred to the boys, sharing that they were kidnapped alongside their parents. However, their captors relaxed their guard earlier due to the boys’ stature and weakness.

U.S. President Donald Trump has hailed Lionel Messi as the biggest football star in the world right now. Speaking after Chelsea’s dominant 3–0 win over PSG in the FIFA Club World Cup final on Sunday night, Trump praised the Argentine legend, calling him a global icon. While he still considers Brazilian legend Pelé the greatest of all time, Trump made it clear that Messi is the biggest name in football today.
He commended Major League Soccer for landing such a massive talent, saying, “Messi, yes, he’s a great star, probably the biggest soccer star on this planet. Our country is lucky to have him playing here every week.” Messi and his Inter Miami teammates took part in this year’s Club World Cup but were knocked out in the round of sixteen.
