| Governor Nasir El-Rufai |
The inauguration of Governor Nasir El-Rufa’i of Kaduna State ended abruptly on Friday.
The News Agency of Nigeria
reports that El-Rufai could not review the parade mounted by the police
as some youths pelted dignitaries with water sachets, stones and other
objects in the pavilion.
This prompted security agents to fire tear gas into the crowd at the Murtala Square, Kaduna.
NAN
also reports that some dignitaries in the pavilion included the Emir of
Zazzau, Dr. Shehu Idris, and other traditional rulers in the state.
The
incident occurred when the new governor had concluded his address and
was about to mount an open van to review the parade mounted by the
police.
While the
crowds were dispersed by the police, dignitaries remained seated, but
the occasion ended abruptly without the governor reviewing the parade.
NAN reports that the Murtala Square was filled to capacity.
