Despite escalating killings by bandits and other criminal elements in Katsina, only 30 policemen are deployed to man over 100 affected villages Governor Aminu Masari has lamented.
The perplexed Governor described the current statistics of deployment of an average of 30 policemen to about 100 villages as “gross deficit’.The Governor however said his administration had initiated actions to amend extant laws with a view to enhancing authority of village heads and local authorities for community policing.
Masari spoke during the luncheon organised by the Nigerian Air Force to celebrate the Eid-El-Kabir with frontline troops in Katsina. According to him: “The bandits are intertwined within the communities so sometimes it may be difficult for the NAF or the Army to distinguish them from the locals in order to conduct offensive operations devoid of collateral damage.“The locals must stop giving support, information or safe havens to these criminals.”
