Nude Women Barricade Governor’s Convoy Protesting His Poor Leadership Skills as he Visits Killing Field, Kaduna: PICTURES

Hundreds of half-nude women yesterday protested before the convoy of Governor Mukhtar Ramalan Yero in Sanga local government of Kaduna State, accusing the state government of neglecting to protect their lives and properties after the recent killings of over 50 people in their villages. The half-nude women, dressed in black attire, booed and threw objects at the long convoy of the governor in Fadan Karshi, Sanga local government area. The women were angry that after not less than seven attacks on their villages, in which not less than 300 villagers were killed since last July, the governor did not visit the place until a few weeks to the primary elections.

Mr Bezard Wuyah, national president of Ninzom Progressive Youths in the local government told reporters in Kaduna about the visit of the governor to Karshin Daji and Fadan Karshi.

“The governor came with hundreds of soldiers, policemen, Roads Safety Corps, SSS, even with a detachment of Prison Guards. It was more of an invasion, not a condolence visit. Our mothers and sisters who were expecting a sober, caring governor were furious when they saw that it was as a form of intimidation against them so they don’t bare their minds on the negligence they had suffered since gunmen sacked their villages and rendered them homeless? That was why they were protesting and asking that the governor kills them so that they die and rest. They refused to be cowed,” he said.

An indigene of Sanga local government, residing in the United States, Barrister Sunday Ugah, sent SaharaReporters pictures and details of the governor’s visit to Fadan Karshi, where terrorists killed over 40 persons last week. Ugah said all attempts by some prominent politicians to dampen the protest fell on deaf ears as the women said the governor was on a political campaign and not making condolence visits.

His e-mail read 

“It is absolute nonsense that, since March to date, about 1000 people have been killed in Southern Kaduna. [The governor] never came until today, in the name of last week killings, but we all know it is for political reasons. He came in company of hundreds of security personnel. 

We have no business with his politics, but we will speak in the ballot. Over 200 were killed in March in Kaura local government, he refused to go there. The same thing happened in June here in Sanga, over 200 were killed. Our parents protested almost naked and we told him he is not a leader but a combination of deceit and lies. 

“Next month we will take our case to Chatham House in London, where we will address the world of the genocide going on in our villages, and how representatives from the Senate down to state assembly have failed us completely. We are not docile, we are documenting everything, the senator is only bothered about her re-election like the governor, the same for all the politicians. And the world will hear us, they are killing us like animals and none of them can raise a voice because of vested interests.”
