Women protest half naked against Kaduna state governor

Women in Fadan Karshi in Sanga local government in Kaduna yesterday protested half naked when the governor of the state, Mukhtar Yero, came to pay them a condolence visit. Their grievance? Well, according to the indigene of the state who sent the pics to Sahara Reporters, over a thousand people have been killed in the area and neighboring towns and villages by terrorists since March this year, and the governor never came to see them until yesterday when he showed up with hundreds of security personnel following last week's attack that left over 40 people dead.

The angry women, who felt they'd been abandoned, lay on the ground crying as the governor and his team came through their town.
