In a show of displeasure against banditry in their communities, angry youths from Turare, Marke and Dogon Ruwa villages in Dutsin-ma Local Government Area of Katsina State early on Thursday morning blocked Dutsin-ma – Kankara highway. With the aid of trees, stones and worn out tyres, the protesters reportedly blocked the highway while chanting songs depicting their displeasure.
The development reportedly prevented many commuters from making use of the highway in the morning.
