Telecommunication services have been shut down in Katsina State.
At least 13 Local Government Areas are affected by the development which may not be unconnected with the ongoing security operations against bandits in the North West.

The affected LGAs are Sabuwa, Faskari, Dandume, Batsari, Danmusa, Kankara, Jibia, Safana, Dutsin-Ma and Kurfi that are on the fringes of the Ruggu forest where most of the bandits are hiding.

The other three include Funtua, Bakori and Malumfashi.

This comes a few days after the National Communications Commission (NCC) denied plan to shut down telecom sites in Katsina.

Recall that the NCC had refuted a trending social media story claiming that the commission had ordered telecom service providers to shut down their sites in Katsina.

In a statement, Director General (Media), Abdu Labaran Malumfashi, had said the Executive Vice Chaiman/CEO of NCC, Professor Umar D. Danbatta, had spoken to the the state government on the matter where he said the story was false.

The NCC VC/CEO added that the purported letter trending in the social media was a cloned version of the one sent to Zamfara State, where there is a total shutdown of telecom sites.

NCC had issued a directive to telecom operators to shut down their services in the neighbouring Zamfara State as from September 3, to enable security agencies carry out required operations in relation to the pervasive security challenges.

It has yielded positive results in Zamafara, so shall it in Katsina.

Let's hope it works out cause the cost to the economic activities in those places can only be imagined.

This administration has been generally inhumane in most of its policies and actions

Nice one now the Army can swiftly move to katsina forest and killed them all not sitting around and giving bandits free access to operate.

Stop disclosure of security operation

Good For Them, How Will They Connect With Their Customers? I' Mean Selling Of Human Peace And Freedom. Ewu Kidnappers.

I have never been happier seeing dead bodies scattered in hundreds , but I was seeing the useless bandits in that condition. The telecommunication shutdown in zamfara was painful but it did bring about the much needed results. If 2weeks of service blackout is what it takes for the bandits to be wiped out of Nigerian soil, then it's a welcome decision. Am currently serving in sokoto bt if it will also be carried out there, I have no complain. People especially ipob and anti buhari warlords were criticizing and shouting all over the place but when results started puping up everyone suddenly became quite,deaf and dumb. Nigerians are the biggest problem of nigeria

Hit dem hard

I pity the less privileged there.

My heart goes out to them osibanjoly.

Those people have nothing doing with network anyway.

What are these Jihadist upto with this network thing

And BUHARI on his visit to Imo promised to help the state to fight insecurity while half of Katsina is under the control of bandits and criminal elements

No school is open for them to kidnap our innocent children, livestock markets shut , telecommunications network shut down and now they are surrounded for air and land military strike, the criminals are done for!

All the enemies of Nigeria will lose las las. They always lose. God bless Nigeria.

No please

Nigeria will win this war.
Nice tactics and strategy from our military......

And they want our tax revenue from telecom services?

Hopefully this offensive destroys the criminal bandits and their supporters.
