Agaju Madugba, Katsina

Ninety suspected rioters said to be linked to the burning of a police station and the official residence of the Divisional Police Officer’s official residence at Kusada, in Kusada Local Government Area of the Katsina State have been arrested, according to a police report.

As part of measures to curtail the spread of the ravaging coronavirus (COVID-19) pandemic, the Katsina State Government had ordered the closing of its borders with neighbouring states and the Republic of Niger, whilst also suspending Muslim Friday congregational Friday prayers and church services.
