Masari Tells Katsina Residents To Arm Themselves Against Bandits by Ikpeyi: 9:32pm On Aug 17, 2021
Governor Aminu Masari has urged Katsina State citizens resident in areas prone to activities of bandits to acquire weapons and defend themselves.

Masari noted that it is morally wrong for people to submit cheaply to the bandits without any attempt to defend themselves, according to a statement by his Media Aide, Malam Abdu Labaran,

The governor said this during his visit to Jibia Town to condole with the families of 10 people that were recently crushed by operatives of the Nigerian Customs Service (NCS) through reckless driving.

According to him, security is everybody’s business, pointing out that it is not the responsibility of the government alone.

“It is the people’s meek submission that emboldens the bandits to continue with their heinous activities with murderous frequency.

“People must divorce their minds from the mistaken notion that security is government’s sole responsibility alone,” Masari said.

Meanwhile, the governor assured that those killed by the customs operatives would not die in vain.
“Government is perusing all the necessary legal steps to seek redress for the families of the deceased as well as those who sustained various degrees of injuries.
“Legal experts have already been consulted to advise on the way forward to ensure speedy (legal) resolution of the matter,” he said.

The governor cautioned the families of the victims not to succumb to any covert enticement from the NSC.

“Doing so will compromise and jeopardise the government’s efforts to secure justice for the bereaved and injured.

“What customs operatives are doing in the state is wrong, and unacceptable.

“Do not succumb to any covert enticement from the customs service, no matter what they offer or promise to do for you.

“Whatever they want to do for you, let it be in the open, not in secret.

“If you accept any secret offer, then you will be truncating government’s efforts to seek justice for you; but if you resist any untoward move, the organisation will then have to rethink its attitude towards its host community,” Masari added.

NAN recalls that NSC crushed 10 persons to death through reckless driving while pursuing smugglers in Jibia border in Jibia Local Government Area of Katsina State recently.(NAN)

There's a shoot at sight order for anyone unauthorized person with AK -47.

These bandits are reported to possess high caliber assault riffles. Will the residents protect themselves with clubs, sticks and catapults against the AK-47 wielding assailants?

The north and Nigeria in its entirety all deserve the stupid irresponsible leadership they have been plaguing themselves with.

This irresponsibile governor Aminu Masari goes about with massive armed-to-the-teeth retinue of security operatives that are providing protection for himself, wives, children, aides, cronies etc.

Yet he has the guts to tell beleaguered citizens that they who are not constitutionally empowered to carry arms to arm themselves-with catapult as one silly fella advocated sometime back? This is these same governor who told bewildered Nigerians that it is irresponsible for them to expect govt to provide them protection.

"..Members of the Katsina State House of Assembly have said .....Both President Buhari and Governor Aminu Masari have failed in securing the lives and property of Katsina State citizens. Our people are being killed on a daily basis but nothing has been done."

"Buhari/Masari resign now", you cannot protect us. "Banditry and kidnapping are our monsters not corona" and "Stop the bloodshed" among others.

Please, the people of Kastina should ignore this Masari and trust our darling President Gen Buhari.

He will protect them and teach the bandits in the language they will understand.

He has released N6bn for building modern ranch which is already reducing banditry.

I also urge the police to be patriotic and shoot anyone seen arming themselves

As ordered by our darling President.

If it is morally wrong for people to submit cheaply to armed bandits without any attempt to defend themselves, how would you describe a seating governor who not only fraternize with armed bandits but abdicated his primary responsibility of protecting lives and properties of his people ?

The evil lies they used to Nail SUNDAY IGBOHO is what a Northern Governor is openly advising his people for now.
But I think at this time, having Arms is part of solution to the problem, cos our government is practically dead, and no PRAYERS can work in Nigeria cos of innocent blood shed before, so praying against insecurity is an exercise in futility.
Just take action by arming yourselves with sophisticated weapons and Traditional power(juju) and see if you and bandits/killer herdermen won't face each other fire for fire.
And if they know you are well armed too, they won't near you again.
But if you live in a Red zone, and you think because you are a Christian or Muslim, that you won't arm yourself or have juju, if you are killed, heaven is not sure ooo, moreover no one has died to tell the story of after life, its still a speculation.

A man whose primary responsibility towards the citizens is the protection of lives and properties, has renegade on his duty, by asking the citizens to do his job for him.

Is he going to give them his security vote to buy arms?

I sincerely hope that the masses could for once task our politicians to do their jobs.

We have been so brain washed that instead of holding our politicians who have been given tax payers money to build roads and school accountable. We will rather pounce on private citizens for not using their money in repairing the roads in their village or renovating schools in their neighbourhood, forgetting that all these have been paid for and some politicians have embezzled it.

Same thing is happening on the issue of job creation. When young people cry of unemployment we the masses come at them by asking them why can't they create jobs for themselves.

Some will out of jealousy pick on first class students for not creating jobs rather than looking for one.

Out of spite for our fellow people we conveniently brush aside the fact that we have elected officials that we never failed to pay, never for once delayed their salaries, whom were elected with the primary responsibility of providing jobs or at least provide a conducive environment for entrepreneurs.

Nigerians when are we going to start holding our political class accountable?

Customs drive too reckless when they chase smugglers. At the end of the chase if the smugglers are caught, arrests are not made, money just change hands and every body goes their separate ways. The villagers also love to hide the smugglers in their villages, I remember the smugglers cars interiors are all covered with black thick materials and you never can tell what's inside the vehicles apart from usual suspicion that its rice, I know guns are also involved because they always come from Niger early morning and late evening hiding from custom chase, police just stop them and collect 500h per car without searching their cars the interior is all covered with black. Now the villagers are suffering it, and they will continue to suffer it until they stop hiding their enemies, even the customs and police just want bribe from them and not to prosecute them. Wonder where the bandits get guns from, May the dead find eternal rest

The same idiot that was negotiating with them couple months ago. Nigeria is really in trouble. Only God can help us. Imagine what the chief security officer of a state is saying.
