 A Mother's Day Nightmare in Princeton, Illinois. A 3-year-old boy was struck by gunfire as police burst into a barricaded room, ending a frightening hostage situation. Multiple agencies responded to the Hummingbird Mobile Home Park in Princeton, Illinois, on Sunday, May 10th at 2:42 a.m. The initial call went out as a domestic disturbance but officers discovered much worse.  42-year-old, Anthony Rodriguez, had barricaded himself in a room armed with a knife.

"WE ARE HUNGRY, END PROTESTS"- KANO STREET BEGGARS CRIES OUT. (PHOTO).


 “We are hungry, end protests”  — Kano street beggars cries out


Some street beggars in Kano State have appealed to the organizers of the ongoing nationwide protests to sheath their swords in the interest of humanity


Baba Haliru, a 70-year-old beggar from Rigiyar Zaki, told the News Agency of Nigeria (NAN) that survival has become extremely challenging due to the protests.


Haliru explained that many beggars relied on daily earnings to feed their families but the protests have prevented them from getting alms.


“We have not eaten anything in our household of 14 for two days in the last four days except water,” he lamented.


”For God’s sake, please reach out to those who organized the protests to end them by negotiating with the government.”


Other beggars re-echoed Haliru’s sentiments, calling for an end to the protests and the total lifting of the curfew.


Malama Mario Kabiru of Hotoro quarters said: “We have run out of foodstuffs and we can’t go out to buy more. We don’t have money, and the situation is unbearable.”


Malam Isa Musa of Dorayi quarters also appealed to the government to introduce measures that would cater to the needs of elderly individuals who have no support


“We are begging because we have no one to support us. Since the curfew was introduced, we have not eaten anything in the last three days with our families,” he said. 


”We can’t continue like this; kindly let the protests stop.”
