By: Austine Emmanuel, Kaduna

Tension is currently in Kaduna state as heavy protest rocks major towns on Monday morning.

The protesters in their large numbers stormed constitution road, Ahmadu Bello way, Ungwan Shanu, Rigasa, Barnawa among others, carrying Russia flags.

One of the protesters who could not mentioned his name during Press interview said that they are calling on Russia President, Vladimir Putin, whom they believed is Anti America and British to intervene in addressing the challenges facing the country.

The development has led to the closure of major markets in the state, except few street shops.

Residents are equally afraid of going about their normal businesses as major roads deserted without vehicular movement, meanwhile security agencies are on ground to calm the situation.

The Police Public Relations Officer, (PPRO) Kaduna State Command ASP Mansur Hassan could not respond to calls as at the time of filing this report.
