Gwg.ng reports that the protest was prompted by the attack that occurred on the night of Wednesday, February 28th, 2024, where numerous community members were kidnapped, and several others were injured.

Two people, including a member of the Civilian Joint Task Force, were reportedly killed in the attack.

The residents angered by the development took to the streets on Thursday morning, effectively obstructing the bustling Abuja-Kaduna highway.

As a result, the road has experienced significant congestion, leaving countless motorists stranded.

The recent assault on the Goningora community occurred just a week following the elimination of a notorious bandit leader, Boderi Isyaku, and several of his followers by the military in the Chikun local government area.

The bandits reportedly set fire to a military armoured vehicle while the soldiers were trying to fend them off.
