Some residents of Kano on Saturday protested against any attempt to use military action to restore democratic rule in the Niger Republic as they stormed the streets of the commercial city.

The protesters who are mostly residents of the state embarked on the action to show their displeasure and non-support of the planned military invasion of the country.

While moving in a procession, they kept chanting, “Nigeriens are our brothers; Nigerians are also our family.”

“Niger is ours; we don’t want war; war against Niger is injustice, a plot by the Western forces,” they kept chanting, raising Nigerian and Nigerien flags alongside their placards, chanting anti-war songs.
