Hoodlums masquerading as protesters on Monday vandalised a branch of one of the new generation banks at Tudun Wada in Kaduna South Local Government Area of Kaduna State.
The spokesman of the State Police Command, Mansir Hassan, confirmed this to Channels Television in a phone conversation.
He said that the hoodlums broke into the bank during which they carted away some valuables and also destroyed some vehicles parked within the bank premises.
Hassan, an Assistant Superintendent of Police, also debunked rumours that a police armoured personnel carrier was snatched by the violent protesters at Tudun Wada.
According to him, the driver of the armoured vehicle succeeded in manoeuvring the crowd of protesters who climbed on top of the vehicle since it was carrying live ammunition and couldn’t have used maximum force against the crowd.
The police also confirmed the burning down of a security patrol vehicle belonging to the Kaduna State Vigilance Service at Rigasa in the Igabi Local Government Area as well as the razing of the Zaria office of the Kaduna State Traffic Law Enforcement Agency (KASTLEA) by hoodlums.
