Angry youths from Daddara village in Jibia Local Government Area of Katsina State protesting inadequate security from incessant bandit attacks have burnt the Police and Immigration posts in the border town.
An eye witness told The Nation the protesting youths also set tires ablaze and blocked road linking the ever busy Jibia- Katsina highway.
Police Public Relations officer of the Katsina Command, Superintendent Isah Gambo, confirmed the incident.
He said 43 of the suspected youths have been arrested
He said: ’’The Command received a report that some group of disgruntled youths and adults mainly from Daddara village, Jibia LGA of Katsina state, came out in their numbers, tumultuously rioting and protesting.
“The angry protesters were reported to have blocked the Katsina – Jibia Highway, exactly at Dadda village, smashing and destroying vehicles of security agencies and that of innocent citizens passing along the highway’’
‘’They also set ablaze a Police Border Control Post – Daddara, Nigerian Immigration Service Check point – Danmasani, one Police Border Patrol Van (stationery), one Volkswagen Gulf III motor vehicle belonging to the officer in charge of the police border post, two AK 47 rifles belonging to Joint Border Drill Forces, one Ak 47 rifle and a pistol belonging to Police Mounted troops’’.
‘’The rioters smashed and damaged the windscreen of many motor vehicles of innocent commuters passing through the highway’’.
‘’ Consequently, the Command swiftly deployed teams of Police mobile Force (PMF) and conventional units to the area and have succeeded in arresting forty-three (43) persons found rioting’’.
He further assured normalcy has been restored to the area all the perpetrators will be brought to book to serve as deterrent to others.
He also disclosed one person died during the fracas and investigation has so far revealed the riot was purportedly sponsored by smugglers and their agents targeting joint border patrol personnel and their facilities.

My brother people are angry

we need to do it everywhere in Nigeria...enough is enough

What of Buhari Home

The type of thing the youths somewhere in the south east, south west and south south can't try. If you talk of people with mind, abeg na youths from north get am pass. One little mistake, them go charge like bull dog ants. Let me say something here, those arrested will be freed.............

Fantasticcc:
we need to do it everywhere in Nigeria...enough is enough

Did u hear that any of them got killed in the process? Just try it in the south and see the outcome. Just partaking in a mere peaceful protest and you'll be checking ur name if its in the book of Life or not cos the same security guys will send u to eternity.

Nigeria is going one, going two

If na for east..43 youths for don die.if u know,u know.

even the people of katsina are not insulated from the incompetence of APC and GMB

These ones are only good at "Burning Things"

Cluelessness is contagious.Even the president home state that was grossly safe under the last regime is now a theatre of the absurd( kidnapping, senseless bloodshed & killings) where the state governor is negotiating with armed bandits & the president granting BH terrorists amnesty

It marvels me the way the media has continued to seal the truth: why has the media addressed this terrorists as "bandits"?

Try this nonsense for Southeast and get ready to dance with pyton..

One Nigeria my foot..

.

It marvels me the thing the press has continued to seal the true: why has the press addressed this extremists as "robbers"?

Sai Baba miscreants don tire for 4+4?

Buhari till 2050 inshallahuu Amin

Una must get sense.

It's turn by turn
