They are tired of killing, the new strategy is to make impossible demands so that the residents will flee for mineral exploration to take place. A possible theory.

Very bad but the government will not deploy force men to the said community now to protect life and properties... their major aim now is the 2027 selection that will carried out by Amupitan(APC loyalist) led INEC and slave judges

That is their share of the national cake grin

Don't deny them their right cheesy
That’s a State that produced 2 Nigerian presidents.


This shows that producing air voting a President based on mutual State of origin doesn’t automatically mean development and security for your State

E never even start. They are now eliminating generals, brigadiers, captains in army so that they'll infiltrate it with terrorists. This country is a capital joke.
My Oduduwa brothers have fallen my hand, I am ashamed to be an Oduduwa when I see the poor level of thinking among my online brothers. Thank God for Ayo Adebanjo, Obasanjo, Tunde Ednut and Dele Famoroti for keeping the Oduduwa flag flying by supporting PO. There is nothing worse than supporting a charlatan who has had time but cannot solve problems.

Calling a Spade a spade is the greatest Education there is.

Did Yaraduah not end Nigeria Delta agitation ?

The state government appealed for calm, adding that the authorities were carefully investigating the development.

Residents of communities in Kankia Local Government Area of Katsina State have been thrown into panic after suspected bandits issued a six-day ultimatum, demanding 700 cattle and 1,000 sheep to avoid an attack.

The demand was conveyed in a letter delivered to the affected communities on April 6 where residents were given notice until Friday, April 10, to comply.

The threat has reportedly triggered widespread fear across the affected communities, namely, Sukuntuni, Unguwar Tsamiya, Magama, Walawa, and Tudun Wulli, with reports of armed bandits moving freely on motorcycles.

A resident, who spoke on condition of anonymity on Saturday, said the ultimatum followed months of harassment and abductions allegedly carried out by armed bandits operating in the area.

According to him, a notorious bandit leader had earlier moved large numbers of rustled animals after a dispute with associates, before issuing what he considered a “tax” demand on local communities.

“The situation has forced people to flee. Some have relocated to Rimaye, others to parts of Kano State, while some moved to Katsina town. About 10 villages are now deserted,” he said.

Concerns have, however, risen over the effectiveness of past negotiations between communities and armed bandits, which residents said previously brought only temporary relief.

Meanwhile, the Director General, Media and Publicity, to the Katsina State Governor, Malam Maiwada Dan-Mallam, on Saturday, appealed for calm.

He stated that authorities were carefully investigating the development and cautioned that the letter may have been intended to create panic.

“The letter has not been officially acknowledged by any authority. It could have been written to create fear among the people. And the government is working tirelessly to protect lives and property across the state,” Dan-Mallam noted.

It was, however, gathered that, despite official assurances, tension remains high in the affected communities, with many displaced residents remaining in fear about returning home.

This is a direct war challenge to the Nigerian army and it is surprising to me how they are handling this issue. If it is in the south, the Airforce and army will start bombing. It is very shameful of the Nigerian armed forces manner of handling banditry and Boko Haram in the North

PO should get 100% Votes in Lagos, 100% Votes in Kano. 100% votes in Venezuela. This has zero to do with PO.

Even if a Chicken ran for president we should all vote for the chicken. This is about getting rid of incompetent governance. Even a chicken will fight terrorism.

Do you know how hard it is to catch a chicken with your hands ?

You're saying all this because you either live in Lagos or you are outside Nigeria so it has not reached your zone. But it has reached Kwara very well.

If it had reached you and you saw them shooting in your estate you will be looking for a new leader ASAP. It is common sense which is in scare supply that when people look for a savior and that savior fails they need to look for another savior.


Who sits in a car that has no tires and pretends that car will take them from Lagos to Ibadan ? You get out of that car and look for a car that works. Nigerians need to look elsewhere in 2027 to not do so is kolomentality that is deliverance resistant

The people of Katsina state should hold their governor responsible. He was here the other day negotiating with the bandits plus paying them huge of money, the federal government warned against it but they were defiant.

Government should allow Nigerians to defend themselves and see if this madness will not stop but because it's orchestrated,the bandits are pampered instead.

You are wise and just.

Some people are just tribalistic-engrained that they fail to see the truth and call it truth rather they will paint it to their own imagination and taste just to satisfy their ego, but at the end of the day the truth must find a way to prevail!

It is because they have not seeing Terrorism in their cosy estate. God forbide they see it and they will become PO's number one fans. It just common sense if your best friend cheats you that friendship is over because nobody likes to be cheated. Oga at the top as failed we need a new Oga , if that one fails we need a new one. To sit with failure is to wish calamity one one self..

Ayo Adebanjo was Afeniferi and he went across his tribe to get someone else because he knows his tribesman will not succeed. Most people don't really care about Nigeria. Can you imagine doing business with your flesh and blood brother and you know he is a thief who does business like that ? But in Nigeria we want our Ethnic brothers who are thieves to rule us, something we will not tolerate if they did business and cheated us. But as long as they are cheating Nigeria it is ok . People don't like Nigeria at all.
