A group has diverted the attention of some Christian youths to a Christian cementry clearing, in a bid to take them off the streets to avoid violent protest.
The leader of the group, Habila Daniel, said this while at the cemetery, saying, engaging the youths in cemetery clearing, which is everybody’s abode, is rewarding, instead of being violent in the streets protesting.
It was the Day-5 of the #EndBadGovernance protest, out of the proposed ten days.
For the group, it is a voluntary gesture, with no financial inducement from anywhere.

It is their effort to contribute to peace-building, stating that, no doubt, the country is going through numerous challenges as highlighted in the protesters demands, but their opinion is that peaceful dialogue is the answer.
This led the group to initiate the Idea on how to keep the youths busy at the cemetery.
For the youths, instead of using cutlass and other weapons to go after innocent people’s lives and property in the name of protest, it is better to be at the cemetery to clear where will be their final abode.
Since the first day of the protest which witnessed large turn out of protesters there has been no protest in Bauchi,
Only on day 5 when some group of protesters were waving Russian flags but immediately dispersed by security operatives.
