The unrest, which escalated in several states, resulted in fatalities and prompted at least three governors to impose curfews.

They set up a bonfire in front of his house and chanted loudly, “Bama yi! Bama yi! Bama yi!” – a Hausa phrase meaning “we don’t want,” commonly used to express disapproval during protests.
An unidentified individual from Buhari’s residence addressed the mob, suggesting they select a spokesperson to record a message for the former president.
Following this, the protesters moved towards the palace of the Emir of Daura, Alhaji Farouk Umar Farouk.
During the march, security forces shot one protester in the leg while attempting to disperse the crowd with heavy shooting, but the demonstrators persisted.
In response to the incident, security measures in Daura have been significantly increased.
