Governor Bello Masari
Katsina State Government has called on the Federal Government to deploy more troops and sophisticated equipment to speedily end banditry attacks, especially amongst innocent communities in the state and their neighbours.
The Secretary to the Government of Katsina State, Dr. Mustapha Muhammad Inuwa, who made the above call when he received newly posted Commissioner of Police to the State Command, said the State Government was committed to providing the necessary logistics supports to security agencies to win the fight against terrorism and other heinous crimes across the state.
He said the Masari led administration would not relent, until peace prevails in all nooks and crannies of the state before the end of its tenure.
The SGS further commended the efforts of the security agents in tackling the lingering challenges and charged them to do more as many rural areas were still under severe threat of the terrorists.
He also reiterated his call for coordinated and simultaneous attacks on the terrorists’ dens rather than waiting for them to attack innocent communities.
He said, “You are expected to put on your wealth of experience in the service to curtail the activities of the terrorists, especially in the front line local government areas.”
Earlier, CP Idrisu Dauda Dabban informed the SGS that he was in his office to solicit for government’s continued support and cooperation in the discharge of his duties.
He said he was aware of the level of insecurity in the state and stated its commitment to ending the crisis.
