Police release Katsina protests’ organiser

The Coalition of Northern Groups on Thursday said its chairman of the Board of Trustees, Nastura Ashir Sharif, has been freed after two days in police captivity.

Sharif was arrested Tuesday afternoon and moved to Abuja shortly after peaceful protests in Katsina against the killings of helpless and defenceless citizens by bandits.

The statement said, “We acknowledge that Sharif’s freedom was made possible by the enormous pressure exerted by the CNG, the Northern Elders Forum, patriotic leaders and elders of the North, a decent section of the civil society, a multi-sectoral cooperation of regional groups and activists and the vigilance of the national and international press.
