The Katsina State Governor Aminu Masari has asked residents especially those living in the front line communities to always remain vigilant and inculcate the habit of raising an alarm over suspicious characters or movement of bandits terrorising innocent citizens of the state.
According to Masari, the military or the police cannot win the banditry fight alone, as they don’t have the numbers, neither all the equipment required.
“But with the support of government and residents, there is a better chance of stamping our crime in the state,” he said.
The governor further warned residents to desist from misinforming the security agencies about the movements of the bandits and also informing the bandits about the movements of security agencies and informing kidnappers or rapists about potential target.
He gave the warnings on Sunday at the newly established Katsina People’s Square at a special party meeting aimed at briefing members of the party on the events that have led to the resolution of the central working committee of the party.
