Residents of Katsina State came out en masse to observe a special prayer session to seek Allah’s intervention against the lingering economic hardship and insecurity in the state.

 The prayer session, which was held on Tuesday on the premises of the Katsina Arabic Teachers College, was amid tight security.

The residents prayed to Almighty Allah to bring an end to the lingering economic hardship, hunger, insecurity, among other challenges facing the country.

 The residents performed the “Al-Qunut prayer”, a type of supplication offered during prayer at a specific point while standing and recommended especially when a calamity befalls a community.

Similar prayer sessions were conducted at the Filin Samji, Filin Yammawa and Filin Canada football grounds, all within the Katsina metropolis.

Organisers of the #Endbadgovernance protest earlier scheduled Saturday for such prayers to be held across various mosques and churches.
