Katsina residents protest bandit attacks, burn Buhari, Masari campaign billboard

Protest against bandits in Katsina Protest against bandits in Katsina

Protesters have burnt a billboard which contains a campaign for the President, Major General Muhammadu Buhari (retd.), and Governor Aminu Masari of Katsina State.

The protesters are voicing out against the incessant attacks by bandits on various communities in Katsina.

No fewer than 150 people have been killed in recent attacks on Kankara, Dutsinma, Musawa, Danmusa and Safana local government areas.

One of the protesters told Sahara Reporters: “Is it not shameful and embarrassing that this ugly security threat is happening daily in the home state of President Muhammadu Buhari, who is the Chief Security Officer of the country?

“It’s glaring both the President and Governor Masari are failure, they have repeatedly failed us. They have to be alive to their constitutional duties of protecting the citizens,” he said.
