A curfew has been imposed in Nigeria second-biggest state, Kano, after protests against the high cost of living were "hijacked by thugs" who engaged in widespread looting and the destruction of property, the governor's office has said.
Kano saw the largest crowds on the first day of nationwide protests that forced many businesses to shut.
Demonstrators in all major cities took to the streets, chanting slogans such as: “We are hungry.”
Police fired live bullets and tear gas - and sprayed hot water - to try and disperse thousands of demonstrators in Kano city. Four people were wounded, and taken to hospital.
Protesters had earlier set alight tyres to make a bonfire in front of the house of state governor Abba Kabir Yusuf.
Looters also broke into a warehouse near the governor's house and people were seen carrying away 25-litre cartons of vegetable cooking oil and mattresses.
