The anger of residents of Yantumaki town in Katsina was kindled on Tuesday as they tore into shreds billboard bearing the picture of President Muhammadu Buhari and the logo of the All Progressives Congress (APC) .
Buhari is a native of Katsina.
On Tuesday morning, residents of the town protested against the attacks and killings by bandits.
This development is coming a week after Aminu Masari, governor of Katsina, announced that his administration had pulled out of the peace deal with bandits.
The state government had entered a peace agreement with the gunmen. But despite the accord, communities in Katsina are still being attacked and residents killed.
On June 1, bandits shot dead 60-year-old Abu Atiku, district head of Yantumaki.
The gunmen also attacked some communities in Batsari LGA of the state, and killed the council’s APC chairman.
The protesters reportedly barricaded the Katsina/Kankara major highway and blocked the road leading to the town.
They were said to have been enraged by the kidnap of one Mansir Yusuf and his daughter by bandits around 1 am on Tuesday.
