Some residents of Katsina State have shunned the ongoing nationwide protest against pervasive hardship and “bad governance” in Nigeria.
It was gathered that some residents of the state trooped out en masse to observe special prayers for Allah’s intervention against the lingering economic hardship and insecurity in the state.
The prayer session, which was held on Tuesday at the premises of Katsina Arabic Teachers College playground, was widely attended by all genders amidst tight security.
The residents prayed to Almighty Allah to bring an end to the lingering economic hardship, hunger, and insecurity, among other challenges facing the country.
The residents performed the ‘Al-Qunut prayer’, a type of supplication offered during prayer at a specific point while standing and 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 Muslim faithfuls who participated in the event, they resorted to such prayers as the last option for them towards addressing hunger, insecurity and other challenges facing the country.
