A billboard bearing the picture of President Muhammadu
Buhari and the logo of the All Progressives Congress (APC) has been burnt by
protesters in Yantumaki town, Danmusa local government area of Katsina state.
Buhari is a native of Katsina.
On Tuesday morning, residents of the town protested against
the attacks and killings by bandits.
This development is coming a week after Aminu Masari,
governor of Katsina, announced that his administration had pulled out of the
peace deal with bandits.
The state government had entered a peace agreement with the
gunmen. But despite the accord, communities in Katsina are still being attacked
and residents killed.
On June 1, bandits shot dead 60-year-old Abu Atiku, district
head of Yantumaki.
The gunmen also attacked some communities in Batsari LGA of
the state, and killed the council’s APC chairman.
The protesters reportedly barricaded the Katsina/Kankara
major highway and blocked the road leading to the town.
They were said to have been enraged by the kidnap of one
Mansir Yusuf and his daughter by bandits around 1 am on Tuesday.
When contacted, Isah Gambo, spokesman of the state
police command, refused to react to the incident.
A text message sent to him is also yet to be replied to as
of the time of filing this report.
