The Nigerian Bar Association (NBA) Katsina State Chapter has announced it will provide free legal services to individuals arrested during the recent End Bad Governance protest in Katsina State. This decision follows a violent crackdown by security forces, which resulted in the deaths of more than three people and numerous injuries.
Among those detained are Kabir Shehu Yandaki, Secretary of the Coalition of Civil Society Organisations in Katsina State, and Habibu Mukthar Ruma, Chairman of the Coalition of Northern Groups. The NBA’s intervention aims to support their legal defense and address the broader legal needs of other detained protesters.
