Residents of Katsina resort to prayers over hardship, insecurity

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

The prayer session, which was held on Tuesday at the premises of Katsina Arabic Teachers College playground, was widely attended by all genders amid tight security.

The residents prayed to Almighty Allah to bring an end to the lingering economic hardship, hunger, and 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 was recommended especially when a calamity befalls any community.
