Residents of Fegin Mahe community, located in Ruwan-Bore Ward under Gusau Local Government Area of Zamfara State, have staged a peaceful protest at the Government House in Gusau, lamenting the worsening security situation in their area.
The aggrieved residents, who turned out en masse, carried placards, demanding urgent action from the state government to address the incessant attacks by armed bandits, which have left their community in fear and despair.
According to them, no single security operative is currently stationed in Fegin Mahe, leaving the entire community vulnerable to repeated attacks and criminal activities.
The demonstrators said they were left with no other choice but to march to the Government House after months of silence and inaction, stressing the need for immediate deployment of security personnel.
They stated further that the presence of law enforcement agents would help deter further attacks and restore peace to the troubled area.
The residents also pleaded with Governor Dauda Lawal and the state’s security agencies to quickly intervene and save their community from total collapse.
