The National Security Adviser, Babagana Mangunu on Wednesday, led top security officers to Katsina, a day after a protest rocked the state capital over rising spate of insecurity.
The protesters demanded the resignation of President Mohammadu Buhari and the state governor, Aminu Masari for their inability to tackle the lingering crisis that had led to loss of many lives and property.
