She said, "We are creating awareness on the deplorable condition of the victims of violent attacks in the North and the need for government to assist and compensate them. 

"Because their means of livelihood is just farming and they cannot go to farm again, the attackers have stolen their properties and they have nothing as we we speak."

She narrated how over 50 people were killed by bandits in Danka and Zawa villages in Katsina State and the entire places burnt down.

"We want the whole world to know what these people are passing through especially Basari LGA in Katsina," she added.
