In a bizarre yet humorous twist to the ongoing #EndBadGovernanceInNigeria and hunger protests, a man was captured on video attempting to loot a police signpost in a protest-hit state in northern Nigeria. The incident, which has rapidly gained traction online, has left social media users both amused and puzzled.
The video shows the man struggling to drag the heavy metal signpost along the street, his efforts appearing both determined and absurd. Despite the intense atmosphere surrounding the protests, this peculiar act provided a moment of comic relief.
Crowds of onlookers were seen laughing at the scene, with some even offering light-hearted commentary. One popular comment that circulated online humorously asked, “How can you loot a police station?”
The protests, which have been marked by widespread demonstrations against bad governance and the rising cost of living, have largely been tense and serious. However, this odd incident has momentarily shifted the tone, showing the unpredictable and often surreal nature of events in such charged environments.
Authorities have not yet commented on the incident, but the video continues to be shared widely, adding an unexpected layer of humor to the ongoing unrest.
