The women, who were dressed half
n*de, blocked the convoy of Governor Mukhtar Ramalan
Yero in Sanga Local Government of Kaduna State, accusing the state government
of not providing enough security and protection their lives and properties.
The women who were visibly angry
at the security situation in their community, threw objects and stones at the
governor and his entourage, booing and chanting war songs at the same time.
Over 300 people have been killed
in Sanga Local Government Area of the state in the last three months.
One of the community leaders in the
local government, Mr Bezard Wuyah, who is also the National President
of Ninzom Progressive Youths in Sanga spoke to reporters in Kaduna about the
visit of the governor to Karshin Daji
and Fadan Karshi.
“The governor came with hundreds of soldiers,
policemen, Roads Safety Corps, SSS, even with a detachment of Prison Guards. It
was more of an invasion, not a condolence visit. Our mothers and sisters who
were expecting a sober, caring governor were furious when
they saw that it was as a form of intimidation against them so they don’t bare
their minds on the negligence they had suffered since gunmen sacked their
villages and rendered them homeless? That was why they were protesting and
asking that the governor kills them so that
they die and rest. They refused to be cowed,” he said.
