Angry Muslim youths have reportedly burnt down a Police station as well as seven cars, two motorcycles and a generator all parked in front of the station in Kusada town in Katsina State.

We leant that a dusk-to-dawn curfew has been imposed on the town while arrests have been made by the Police.

If you are an Igbo man/Southner in Kastina, please be safe. Some animals have started burning police station because their imam was arrested for breaking the law.
They will soon come for you when they think there is no more a police station to destroy.

Even the Arab countries, where the Islam originated are on lockdown.
But the youths in Kastina are dickheads, It’s still high level of illiteracy in our Country that has causing all these shit.
