Protesters stormed the ancient city of Kano to express their displeasure over incessant killing occurring in the country, especially those rocking the entire northern states.
While the protesters were chanting songs of peace, they called on President Muhammadu Buhari and governors to show more interest in addressing the state of insecurity in the affected states.
However, these young persons who march to the Government House wielded a banner with the inscription, ‘No More Blood Shed’.
Zainab Naseer Ahmad, who led the peaceful movement, lamented how insecurity is threatening the lives
and livelihood of Nigerians.
Ahmad said, “We come to share our concern and send a message to our leaders, we are tired of the worsening state of insecurity in the country.
He continued, “Every now and then, lives are lost, people are being unjustly killed like animals. We demand the return of peace in our societies.
“We can’t travel in peace, economy is crumbling. People are burnt while travelling.”
Meanwhile, the protesters marched from Audu Bako secretariat to Kano Government House, where security operatives received and listened to them, promising to take the matter further to the appropriate quarters.
