#EndBadGovernance: Katsina residents go spiritual over hunger, insecurity
Some Katsina residents came out en masse to observe a special prayer session to seek God’s intervention against hunger and insecurity.
The prayer session, held on Tuesday at the premises of Katsina Arabic Teachers College playground, was widely attended amidst tight security.
The residents begged God to end the lingering hardship and insecurity, among other challenges plaguing Nigeria.
The residents performed the ‘Al-Qunut prayer,’ a type of supplication offered during prayer at a specific point while standing, and it was recommended especially when a calamity befalls any community.
A similar prayer session was conducted at the Filin Samji, Filin Yammawa and Filin Canada football grounds, all within the Katsina metropolis.
According to some participants, they resorted to such prayers as their last option for addressing hunger, insecurity and other challenges.
Organisers of the #EndBadGovernance protests had earlier scheduled Saturday for such prayers to be held across various mosques and churches nationwide to seek divine intervention.
