Hundreds of residents of Yan Tumaki in Danmusa Local Government Area of Katsina State on Tuesday, June 9, took to the streets of the town to protest repeated attacks by bandits on the community.
The protesters, comprising grown-up men and children, blamed President Muhammadu Buhari and Governor Aminu Wasari for the spate of insecurity in the state.
One of the protesters said residents of the area now lived in fear as security agencies in the state appear helpless.
He said the people might resort to self-defence, noting that such a move may further worsen the security challenges in the country.
“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.
Katsina is one of the states in the northwest that have suffered from repeated attacks by armed bandits on communities.
The report had it that about 150 people have been reportedly killed by bandits in Kankara, Dutsinma, Musawa, Danmusa and Safana local government areas of the state in the last two months.

Katsina Protesters Burn Buhari's Billboard Over Insecurity (Photos, Video)
Earlier today, angry youths in Yan Tumaki town, Danmusa local government area of Katsina State stage a peaceful protest band burn down president Muhammadu Buhari and Gov. Bello Masari's billboard due to growing insecurity concern in the state.
Quote:A billboard bearing the picture of President Muhammadu Buhari and 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 it had 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 TheCable contacted Isah Gambo, spokesman of the state police command, he 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.
