A protester at the #EndBadGovernance protest in Bauchi State, Aisha Dogara Adamu, has narrated how a hoodlum assaulted and stripped her naked in public.
Aisha who is a resident of the Bauchi metropolis, recounted that the brutalisation happened on the first day of the protest in the state.
According to Punch, she said, “On Thursday, August 1, 2024, as scheduled, peaceful protests took place around the CBN roundabout in Bauchi metropolis around 1 pm to voice our concerns about hardship and insecurity.
“The police fired tear gas at us. I endured the teargas and walked past the security personnel. When I was approaching the State Secretariat, a man I later learned was named Blabla came behind me and began to beat me.”
Aisha tearfully reported that Blabla assaulted her until she was left naked in front of the security station in the area.
She further stated, “He beat me, kicked me with his feet. What baffled me was the way they stripped me naked in front of the security personnel, and they did nothing.”
According to Aisha, her assailant claimed to have backing from certain authorities to prevent anyone from protesting on that road.
Discussing her reasons for joining the demonstration, Aisha highlighted the severe inflation and troubling insecurity as her main motivators.
