Protests against Banditry rock Katsina

-



The insecurity in the north yesterday triggered massive protest in Katsina metropolis, as thousands of youths took to the streets against what they described as incessant killings in seven frontline local government areas of the state by bandits.

This came on a day affected communities in Shiroro Local Government Area of Niger State threatened to embark on self-help to defend themselves against rampant invasion and killings, as well as destruction of properties by bandits.

This is even as the European Union yesterday condemned the latest attacks on communities and villages in the northern part of the country, describing acts of terrorism and violence in the region as intolerable.

Apparently reacting to the spate of protest against insecurity in the north yesterday, President Muhammadu Buhari appealed to Nigerians to be patient with his government, saying everything was being put in place to tackle insecurity in the polity headlong.

The President, who also approved joint military, police operations to tackle insecurity in North West, called for calm in his home state of Katsina, assuring that security agencies were working to bring the current wave of banditry and killing to a halt.


The protest, organised by the National Youth Council of Nigeria, NYCN, and Coalition of Northern Groups, CNG, started at the roundabout at Katsina Central mosque at about 7:00am, with the protesters bearing placards with inscriptions.
