Insecurity: Northern Youths Barricade Highways, Protest Against Insecurity In Nigeria

Some angry youths have blocked some major highways in the Northern part of the country to protest against incessant attacks by armed bandits in the region.

The protest followed the killing of 45 travelers by bandits in Sokoto state.

The protesters, displaying placards depicting their anger at the situation, have been sighted in Kano, Bauchi, Zamfara and Sokoto states.

They are also in the Federal Capital Territory (FCT), Nigeria’s seat of government. They called on President Muhammadu Buhari and governors to show more interest in tackling insecurity.
