The indigenous people of Katsina, who are based in the Federal Capital Territory, Abuja have called on the Federal Government to urgently declare a state of emergency following a high level of insecurity in Katsina State.
In a statement made available to Vanguard Monday in Abuja, the group under the aegis of Concerned Katsina Youth, noted that recent developments leading to wanton killings of innocent people in the state were a testament to the fact that the state government could not guarantee the safety of lives and property of citizens of the state.
They blamed the state government for the spate of insecurity in the state, noting that the peace deal reached with the bandits has not yielded any result. Deputy Spokesman for the group, Shamsudeen Danasibi Faskari, who signed the statement, said residents of the state now live in palpable fear, as security agencies in the state appear helpless.Faskari said that his local government, Dutsinma, was the epicentre of senseless killings since December 2019.
