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)

Imagine the number of fighter jets aboard an aircraft carrier, the damning sight of a Naval destroyer ship, not to talk of sub marines.

Because its easy for airforce to destroy enemies than navy.
War planes go everywhere.
They destroy large numbers of enemies.

War planes can even escort navy ships self.
Numerous reasons to mention

duro4chang:
Hmmmm.

duro4chang:
Thanks so much. May God crown our efforts with success. Before I go let me say this. Some years back, the target year when everything would be alright in Nigeria was the year 2000. You would hear our leaders then saying, education for all in the year 2000, health for all in the year 2000, electricity for all in year..
Food for all in the year..
House for all in the year...
Water for all in the year 2000. It was as if the year 2000 would not come. We were eagerly and anxiously waiting for the magic year. My brother, we are in 2021 now.
Have a nice day.

duro4chang:
Ok. I wish you the best .

duro4chang:
It is my prayer that you and I will be alive beyond that time. If we want to be truthful to ourselves, we will know that people are tired and have no more hope. You just interview about five people, the result you will get will surprised you.If you see any one who is hopeful today perhaps that person is benefitting from this current mess. Do you know that Tinubu once said he had no hope in Nigeria but today ...

IJOBA11:
IS THAT WHY YOU ARE DENYING YOUR FULFUBE HERITAGE

IJOBA11:
YOU MEAN YOUR BRETHREN FROM THE SAHEL

duro4chang:
The people you are canvassing for might turn out to become cabals. Yahaya Bello is a young man, the youngest governor ,what has he shown for it? Dino used to criticize government in those days, when he was in government what did he do? He could only show case his fleet of cars .

SLAP44:
Mention the honest Nigerians which you cannot kill their career as soon as he wants to work for the people.

Nigeria is hopelessly gone to the dogs, no need painting black white.

SLAP44:
I also remember Singapore and Check Republic.

duro4chang:
Who told you that the people you are canvassing for are not agents of the cabals or they can even turn to cabals? Femi Adeshina, Keyamo etc were not like this before.

SLAP44:
Yes, younger people like Hushpuppy, Yahaya bello and abba kyari. All products of the same corrupt system.

Except Nigeria divides, the country can only continue to wallow in the wilderness. You can only keep on burying more of your children.

SLAP44:
That's why disintegration is the only solution.

All other options has been tried and they all failed woefully.

SLAP44:
Stop deceiving yourself, you tried to vote a good man in 2015, it failed.

You tried another better candidate in 2019, you got a mannequin for all your efforts.

You are still hoping to use democracy for a murderous crew hell bent on wiping everyone off and has positioned bad people around to continue the killings. Is this not the insanity you talked against before?

When will you get sense?

duro4chang:
Separation is the best answer. We heard all there in 1999, 2003, 2007,2011, 2019 and 2019. Instead of improvement, what we see is retrogression. It is too late. To your tent oh Israel.

SLAP44:
Exactly.
Christians are being massacred in Borno, we all kept quiet.
Christians are being purged from Kaduna, silence across the nation.
Christian populations are being decimated in all northern states, yet we are doing the same silent treatment over and over again, now describe insanity?

SLAP44:
Do you want these to continue?

Naijabad:
Nigeria will be divided soonest. Mark my words. Biafra will be first to be granted independence.

SLAP44:
It was completely impossible to divide the Soviet union 30 years ago. We now know the bitter truth.

SLAP44:
Nigeria is beyond redemption. Let's divide this contraption.

Keeping Nigeria together will only mean more killings, more slaughter, more massacres and more wars.

Nigeria is a crime against humanity.

SLAP44:
Nigeria is beyond redemption. Let's divide this contraption.
