A key player in the staged protests told SaharaReporters participants were recruited and paid N1000 per day to demonstrate their solidarity with Mr. Saraki, who is charged with false declaration of assets. He added that the fees had not been forthcoming for a few days, leading to disaffection among the rented protesters.
The source said he was one of a few men tasked with mobilizing poor or unemployed youngsters to mount protests against the senator’s trial. “We arranged for [recruited] for these, food vendors, sachet water sellers,mai-barrow(truck pushers) andmai- boiler(scavengers). They no longer went to their normal businesses because we were paying them N1000 each,” the source said.
He accused Mr. Saraki’s aides of suddenly cutting off the cash to pay the demonstrators. “As you can see, all of them [the protesters] are sitting over there angry because they have not been paid for some days now. They are not happy. I have appealed to them but they remain adamant and even go to the extent of destroying the placards and banners that we gave to them,” said the source.http://saharareporters.com/2016/04/21/senator-saraki%E2%80%99s-rented-protesters-unhappy-over-absent-pay
