The Kaduna State government has imposed a curfew in some parts of the southern zone of the state to forestall a breakdown of law and order.
There had been killings and violence in the past months, which incensed the natives to embark on the peaceful protest.Last week, five persons were allegedly killed in Kachira village in Kaura Local Government Area, and 15 persons also killed in Ungwan Rana, Gadani village, Gwagwada district of Chikun Local Government Area, in attacks by suspected herdsmen.
The protesters in thousands in a long solemn procession were carrying placards, waving green leaves, urging the state government to arrest the violence in the area.
