ANTI-US PROTESTERS HIT KANO

Anti-America demonstrators, yesterday marched across some parts of Kano State capital to protest the production of an anti- Muslim film in the United States. The protest march which was generally peaceful, started off in the morning hours but terminated just at about midday, with protesters chanting anti – American slogans. The protesters burnt American flags and torched effigies of the US president, Barrack Obama. They were later addressed by the leader of the Shitte Sect in Kano State, Sheik Mohammed Turi. He expressed anger and profound bitterness over the anti -Muslim film produced in America and held that the American government ought to have enacted laws to protect the values of other people.

The movie led to the attack on the U.S consulate in Libya that resulted in the death of the U.S Ambassador to Libya and four other Americans. President Obama has however condemned the movie and the man behind it has been arrested.
