Angered by the recent killings of over 50 persons in their
villages, hundreds of half-nude women yesterday protested before the convoy of
Governor Mukhtar Ramalan Yero in Sanga local government of Kaduna State,
accusing the state government of neglecting to protect their lives and
properties.
The half-nude women, dressed in black attire, booed and
threw objects at the long convoy of the governor in Fadan Karshi, Sanga local
government area.
The women were angry that after not less than seven attacks
on their villages, in which not less than 300 villagers were killed since last
July, the governor did not visit the place until a few weeks to the primary
elections.
Mr Bezard Wuyah, national president of Ninzom Progressive
Youths in the local government told 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.
