Angry youths have staged a violent protest along the Gusau – Kaura Namoda Highway in Zamfara State.

A source told SaharaReporters that the protesters occupied the road very early on Monday over the incessant attacks by bandits in their communities.

According to him, the protest took a violent dimension when youths blocked the highway along Kurya junction and stopped over 500 public vehicles travelling along the road from continuing with their journey.
