Vice President Kashim Shettima on Saturday said the Federal Government was determined to secure the lives of property of the residents of Katsina State.
Shettima stated this when he led a delegation of government officials to pay a courtesy visit to former President Muhammadu Buhari in his hometown of Daura, Katsina.
The VP was received upon arrival by the state governor, Dr Dikko Radda, who said he felt duty-bound to commiserate with the people of the state who have been the target of heightened offensives from terrorists.
His visit comes a day after residents of communities in Kurfi Local Government Area protested incessant terrorist activities on their turf.
Protesters drawn from Birchi, Wurma and other nearby communities blocked the Dutsin Ma-Katsina highway from around 10 a.m. Friday, burning corn stalks and tyres.
The state governor, Radda, who addressed protesters and Wurma community leaders, vowed to continue fighting terrorists in the state.
Wurma, a community only 40 kilometres from the state capital, suffered three consecutive attacks on Monday, Tuesday and Thursday nights.
