Katsina Assembly Kicks as Bandits Massacre 16 People
Members of the Katsina State House of Assembly have lamented what they termed worsening insecurity situation in the state, saying both the state and federal governments had failed woefully in securing lives and property of the citizenry.
The legislators, while citing renewed onslaughts on communities in the state, insisted that the rapprochement between the state government and bandits had collapsed. The lawmaker called on the state government to allow and empower the vigilante groups in the state to protect the lives of the rural dwellers, saying “they perform far better than the military and police.”

Meanwhile, bandits have massacred 16 persons in a multiple attacks on Safana, Dutsinma, Batsari and Faskari LGAs.
