The president of the organisation, Abdullahi Aliyu Katsina, said that they were demonstrating against the incessant killings in the state and urged the government to consider lifting the ban on vigilante participation in the security operation in the state.
“Recent attacks on various communities in Katsina State exposed how vulnerable these people are, as a result of banning of activities of vigilantes nine months ago without introducing better measures” he said.
In a letter the group urged the government to listen to the yearnings and plight of the people.
Receiving the letter, a staff at the Governor’s Lodge, Dahiru Shua’ib promised to submit the letter to the state liaison officer for onward submission to the governor.
