Kurmin Jibrin, Kagarko Local Government, Kaduna State — Despite attempts to suppress earlier protests, a group of aggrieved farmers, largely women, staged a renewed demonstration on Saturday over the destruction of farms and attacks on farmers by armed herders in Southern Kaduna.

The protesters marched from various villages to the palace of the Chief of Koro, His Highness Yohanna Akaito, in Kurmin Jibrin. They came from Aribi, Kenyi, Kutaho, Kabara, Kushe, Dogonkurmi, Katugal, Nkojo, and Kurmin Jibrin to make their grievances known.

The protests follow earlier demonstrations on Wednesday and Friday, which were reportedly met with resistance. The farmers are calling for urgent government intervention to address the security challenges threatening their livelihoods in the region.
