The community Head of Kamfanin Zangon-Aya in Igabi Local Government Area of Kaduna State, Saleh Ahmed, has called on the state government to station security personnel in his community.
Ahmed made the call in an interview with the News Agency of Nigeria (NAN) on Saturday in Kaduna.
He said gunmen operating along Kaduna-Zaria road have been attacking motorists, including traders patronising the market in his community due to inadequate security personnel in the area.
“Our people are mostly into agricultural business, we farm and sell our produce during market days, but we do not have a bank close by which we can deposit money after transaction.
“Though some banks have shown interest in bringing their branches to our community, the lack of security discourages them”, he said.
Ahmed, however, commended the Kaduna State Government for providing schools, water and hospitals in the community.
He urged the government to provide more classrooms to accommodate the growing number of students in the area
