El-Rufai's inauguration ends abruptly

The inauguration of Governor Nasir El-Rufa'i of Kaduna State ended abruptly on Friday.

The News Agency of Nigeria reports that El-Rufai could not review the parade mounted by the police as some youths pelted dignitaries with water sachets, stones and other objects in the pavilion.

This prompted security agents to fire tear gas into the crowd at the Murtala Square, Kaduna.

NAN also reports that some dignitaries in the pavilion included the Emir of Zazzau, Dr. Shehu Idris, and other traditional rulers in the State.
