Mr Mu'azu, who stated this in a short video, obtained by PRNigeria, noted that the rising insecurity in Katsina is worse than the threat of COVID-19.
Following the recent wave of gruesome attacks on innocent villagers in several communities at Ruma and Batsari Local Government Areas , in Katsina State, the District Head of Batsari, Tukur Mu’azu, said his subjects will prefer to die from coronavirus than being killed by rampaging bandits.
On the recent attacks launched by bandits at old and new Ruma, the district head, while speaking to PRNigeria during a phone chat, said the marauding criminals after invading over 10 communities, killed and maimed several lives.Said Mr Muazu: “The thing is, the bandits always scatter themselves when going on operations at our villages. Hence, security personnel find it difficult sometimes to easily contain the bandits’ attacks.
“It is very disturbing that from eight local government areas, we now have about 12 local governments that are ravaged by the criminally-minded bandits. This is as a result of the insensitivity of both the state and federal government,” he said.
