The Katsina State Governor, Aminu Bello Masari, on Thursday, expressed worries over the prevailing security challenges bedevilling the state, noting that 10 out of 34 local government areas of the state are under persistent attacks by bandits and kidnappers.
Masari, who spoke when he received the Chief of Army Staff , Lieutenant General Faruk Yahaya, at the Government House, Katsina, said residents and security agencies must work together by upping the ante in the war against bandits, kidnappers and other criminals in the state. He said: “We here in Katsina, if we say we are very happy, we are not being honest. We are disturbed with this issue of banditry accompanied with kidnapping, raping of innocent women, armed robbery on our highways. I want technology to be properly deployed to bring this banditry activities under control.
“10 out of 34 local governments in Katsina State are under severe bandits attacks daily. So, with that in mind, there is no way we can sleep. Our phones are permanently on to hear what is happening in local governments. Before breakfast, I am briefed about what happened last night. So General we are not in a very comfortable situation but we thank God.”
