Bandits: Katsina lawmakers to meet Buhari, back Masari’s self-defence call
The Katsina House of Assembly has resolved to meet Governor Aminu Masari and President Muhammadu Buhari over the deteriorating insecurity in the state.
The chairman of the House Committee on Information, Ali Abu Al-Baba, stated this while addressing journalists on Tuesday in Katsina.
Mr Al-baba said the assembly was worried about the rampant reports of banditry in the state. According to him, the worsening insecurity in Katsina is worrisome and unacceptable.
He pledged that Katsina legislators would meet the president on the need for decisive measures against the bandits.
“Something urgently must be done to checkmate the activities of the bandits,” added Mr Al-baba. “We are therefore soliciting for the support and cooperation of all and sundry on the crusade against banditry.”
Meanwhile the lawmakers have supported the governor’s call for people to take arms against the bandits in the state.
