Members of Ibadan's Hausa community took to the streets Wednesday to denounce ethnic profiling. They accused authorities of stigmatizing their people over recent kidnapping incidents.
The protest erupted weeks after gunmen abducted 46 pupils and teachers. The coordinated attacks targeted three schools in Oriire Local Government Area.
Community leaders expressed frustration at being singled out. They demanded an end to discriminatory treatment and proper investigation of the abductions.
Police presence was visible throughout the demonstration in the Oyo State capital. Residents gathered to voice their concerns about security and justice.
Photographer Muhammed Ibrahim captured images of the peaceful march. The demonstration highlighted tensions between the community and security agencies.
