Protesters Clash with Security Forces in Dutse Despite 24-Hour Curfew
In Jigawa State, defiant protesters have taken to the streets of Dutse once more, disregarding a 24-hour curfew imposed by the state government.
The curfew was enacted following significant violence and property damage that occurred on the first day of a nationwide protest.
Currently, security forces are engaged in efforts to control the demonstrators in the Zai area of the city.
Reports indicate that despite the deployment of teargas, protesters continue to resist and have even set up roadblocks, causing ongoing clashes with security personnel.
In the Shuwarin area, located on the outskirts of Dutse, protesters have regrouped and resumed their demonstrations for a second consecutive day.
They are making persistent attempts to advance into the central areas of the state capital but are facing resistance from security forces who are actively working to block their progress.
An eyewitness from Shuwarin reported that several protesters, including minors, have been detained by the police.
In contrast, the situation in Gumel town remains relatively peaceful, as security operatives have effectively closed off major roads to prevent any regrouping of protesters.
Nigerian pastor and overseer of the Citadel Global Community Church, Pastor Tunde Bakare, addresses and reacts to the current happenings of the country regarding the kidnapping and the abductions.
The pastor urges the government on steps they can take to solve and help the people of the country. “The Nigerian government has a clear and urgent duty to protect these Middle Belt communities, who have carried the weight of violence for far too long.”
“Rather than play the ostrich and cover up clear terrorism as mere farmer-herder clashes, the Nigerian state has a responsibility to invade the camps of armed marauders who hide under the cloak of herdsmen of whatever ethnicity, and who invade defenceless communities and gleefully massacre unarmed men, women and children.”
US President Donald Trump criticizes the Nigeria government once again after the increase of insecurity over the past few days. The president stated that the government is failing to protect Christian communities from the attacks going on.
“Nigeria is a disgrace. The whole thing is a disgrace,” Trump said. “They’re killing people by the thousands. It’s a genocide, and I’m really angry about it. And we pay, you know, we give a lot of subsidies to Nigeria. We’re going to end up stopping.”
Former Vice President Atiku Abubakar speaks out against the rising insecurity in the country. He urged the government to take action and claimed that it is not too late to declare a state of emergency.
He reacted after another news of abduction of students was announced on the 21st of November.
“How many more lives must be shattered before decisive action is taken? It is not too late for the government to finally declare a state of emergency on insecurity and confront this menace with the urgency it deserves.”
