Two years after the #EndBadGovernance protests in Kano, victims continue to grapple with bullet injuries and neglect. Rabiu Fillo Gama, 25, was shot in the leg during a violent demonstration near the Gwagwarwa Police Station. Despite multiple surgeries and significant medical expenses, his leg remains unrepaired.
