Members of the Middle-Belt Youth Forum will today in Abuja protest the rising cases of kidnapping in the region and the insecurity that has ravaged parts of the country.
This is coming against the backdrop of the arrest of 10 suspected bandits by the military.
The President of the forum, Brent Kane, disclosed that the protesters would march peacefully to the Attorney-General of the Federation’s office to demand the declaration of the kidnappers and bandits as terrorists, and an end to the killings and abductions across the country.
The planned demonstration would take place as about 19 abductees taken away by bandits from the Sagwari Estate Layout in Dutsen-Alhaji area in the Bwari Area Council of the Federal Capital Territory last Thursday spent the seventh day in custody of their captors.
