Some residents of Rigasa in Kaduna State have staged a protest against insecurity and demolition of their shops without prior notice or compensation by the state government.

The protesters took to the streets in Rigasa under Igebi Local Government on Friday with placards chanting anti-government songs to express their displeasure over what they described as a gross injustice.

Rigasa was the most densely populated community in the area and was said to have witnessed a series of attacks by the bandits leading to many villagers' death.

Despite paying rents through the local government with official receipts, the state government demolished their shops without compensation or prior notice, they claimed.

The protesters also lamented about daily attacks, kidnappings and rape by bandits in the community.

The residents, while accusing the senator representing Kaduna Central Senatorial District, Uba Sani, of insensitivity to their plight, said the senator had never been to the constituency since he was elected to the office.

They explained that his constituency offices across the local government had remained locked since after the election.

The residents vowed to continue with the protest until their demands are met.

The issue is not about giving a Muslim power. As a matter of fact, you spit words without vetting. El rufai does not care which religion you practice in as much you disobey the law you are liable to be judge accordingly .


If you are talking about religion, remember he is among those holding the 'Inyan Shi'a' leader. Does that sound religious to you?

The problem with him is, his tyrant way of rulling. He don't care who you are , he does what he want. He don't seek approval or a vetted check before he does things and which that is bad. And for insecurity he don't have time for that. That is why the Fulani are hunting the lies of Christian because he don't care. He might not care about them maybe they are not his religion but he lacks dexterity to handle Kaduna in terms of insecurity.

Na wash! The real reason is because they want "freedom of sex parties".

I did but the fact you insert 'Moslem' makes it look like a religious dispute. And the protest was not synonymous to the enclosure above. It has to do with destroying of properties, insecurity and others. And besides am not a Muslim to defend him!
