President Muhammadu Buhari’s home state Katsina has lost 213 people over the span of four months to banditry. In addition, 676 people were kidnapped between July until October 2021.

Secretary to the Katsina State Government, Dr Mustapha Inuwa, addressed this urgent issue while speaking on the development of combatting banditry orders recently signed by Governor Aminu Bello Masari.

“On the whole, the statistics with regards to banditry, kidnapping, and cattle rustling from the commencement of the containment order to date has revealed a drastic reduction in the number of reported cases,” Dr Inuwa spoke to reporters on Thursday.

“For instance, for the period of July/August 2021, there were a total of 173 reported kidnap incidents affecting 475 persons; whereas for September/October 2021, 61 kidnap incidents occurred with 201 victims.”

He added that around 724 suspected bandits and other criminals terrorising communities had been arrested by security agencies within the period under review.

“Banditry cases for the same corresponding periods were 97 incidents for July/August 2021 with 130 deaths and 57 injured and 56 incidents for September/October 2021 with 83 deaths and 58 injured,” the secretary noted.

Is it by force to work with military? This people are just sacrificing them. Abi no be Nigeria again?!

The fulanization of Nigeria has begun. What else is new?

These people no get shame. If na we yoruba, we won't admit this publicly knowing that this is what pot-hole region will be happy to hear.
Do you know that they are still killing us in okeogun area of oyo state and ogun state as we speak ? Osun, ondo, ekiki are not left out. Yet we dont confes openly because Igbos will laff and we dont want them to be happy neither can we repell these rampaging fulani the way those flat heads do.
Our amotekun are trying, they need to settle marital issues, landlord/tenant case, share food in burial and wedding ceremonies come back...

...and iyawo nko ?

If dey leave am, baba go touch am

How they wasted those lives is actually none of my business

Baba is even facing worst in his home state.

Family Matas

For all the soldiers that died,no village was invaded by the Nigeria army,no civilian houses and business premises were burnt to the ground but turn the coin and imagine such things happening in the south east,the whole of south east will be engulfed with fire and the whole military formation will invade Igbo villages killing women and children..

This is the reason why Igbo people will always rejoice when misfortune happens to the army or any other military formation in the country because they are being used for ethnic agenda.

It is not true because no dead bodies were seen.Who witnessed it? Kastina is peaceful.Abeg where is IPOB? Ndi ala!

The bandits can do better than this since the are not terorist, the bandits should up their game and kill more both military and civilian, male and female, adult and children, the gvt said bandits are not terorist so pls stop reporting their activities, they are good Muslims unlike like local Yoruba Muslims miscrants

Those wicked and heartless BMC crew members will not come and see this news.. if army invade east now them go begin rejoice .. wicked sets of evil Nigerians

Same military is killing people in imo state
