Six suspected bandits kept in detention by security agencies in Katsina State, were on Tuesday morning released in exchange for 20 kidnapped persons in their custody.

Information gathered revealed that five were released on Sunday after an agreement between the government and the bandits terrorising eight local government areas of the state.

Daily Trust reports that after handing over the six suspects, Governor Aminu Masari said part of the agreement reached between the two was that government would handover bandits in detention, while the hoodlums kidnapped persons in return.

Masari said, “Already, they have surrendered five kidnapped persons, two females and three males. Before the end of today, they are going to return more kidnapped persons in their custody.”

He assured that the process would be completed within the next one to two days.

Is this true?

This country is finished!
Reformed boko haram
Reformed bandit

Later you ask why crime rate is high in the society

Visionless leaders......Dialoguing with bandits or terrorist is wrong. it's crystal clear that northern part of this country is the problem of this nation

again

This has been their plan all along. But stupid southern christians are still doubting the inevitable......Nigeria is going to be eventually islamised because of the stupidity of some christians

S9 what happened to law enforcement

It seems like there are special treatments for terrorist herdsmen and Boko haram by this current government

Ok

If this is true, then it's over.

And This is happening in Katsina, President's State. Masari is supposed to be the best in Governance in Nigeria.

If Nigeria is not divided, that is how d resources of d south will continually be used to combat avoidable conflicts like boko haram, bandits, cattle rustlers, ruga,etc

Imagine the kind of nonsense going on in the country under the watch of Buhari, the tribal bigot would have ordered the indefinite detention/ killing if the bandits are from other ethnic group

they used boko haram and violence to get to power and after that what next ? they're using the power to destroy themselves..

Its simple game for the bandits. Kidnap 20 people and keep them hostage incase they catches your members. Then ask for 100million naira (compensation for capturing ur members) and unconditional release of ur nabbed members.. Use the money to buy more weapons and the vicious circle continues.

Ndi uchu

Don't be unequally yoked with a RUGA Sniper.

Unfortunately the 6 bandits are capable of kidnapping more than 20 more victims in the future bringing the government back to square one.

Even in Kastina the president Home. It is finished.

Please mode help this news should reach front page for everyone to see how bad the situation is, negotiating with terrorist should be the last option on the table.
