Masari: 30 Policemen Manning 100 Villages in Katsina
Governor Aminu Masari of Katsina State has lamented that despite the escalating killings by bandits and other criminal elements in Katsina, only 30 policemen are deployed to man over 100 affected villages.
The governor at the weekend 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.While appreciating the contributions of the NAF in addressing the security challenges in the North West, the Governor, expressed joy over construction of the aircraft hangar, along with ancillary facilities, would soon commence.
