Share on FacebookShare on Twitter

The Katsina State Government says over 100 members of its security outfit, Community Watch Corps, 30 police officers and some soldiers among others have lost their lives in the fight against bandits in the state since May, 2023.

Katsina State Commissioner for Internal Security and Home Affairs, Dr Nasir Muazu, made the disclosure in a statement on Monday.

The state government released the gruesome statistics in reaction to what he described as deliberate attempts by some individuals to create panic and incite fear among residents through the spread of false and misleading information on social media.

“These heroes deserve our respect, not social media mockery.

“Their sacrifices reflect the seriousness and commitment of both the government and the security architecture.

“It must also be acknowledged that the government, through the office of the Special Adviser on Banditry and Internal Security, provides support to victims, rescued persons, and families of fallen heroes, he said.

“These narratives aim to downplay the significant progress made so far in the fight against banditry and insecurity under the leadership of Gov. Dikko Radda,” he said.

According to him, when Gov. Dikko Radda assumed office in 2023, 24 local government areas of the state were affected by banditry.

“Today, with focused strategies and enhanced collaboration with security agencies, notable improvement has been achieved across many parts of the state,” he said.

Muazu revealed that the security had improved, but with few remote pockets of insecurity in Malumfashi, Kurfi, Dutsinma, Kankia, Musawa, Bakori, Funtua, Sabuwa and Dandume.LGAs.

“LGAs still experiencing attacks are Faskari, Kankara and Matazu, government is intervention still ongoing,” he said.

The commissioner added that the government would continue to spend heavily to ensure security forces were well-equipped and motivated.

He said : “But beyond that, success in this fight depends on collective support — not just from the government, but from all citizens.

“We urge the people of Katsina to remain calm and resolute. Avoid the temptation to believe or share unverified stories.

“If you see something suspicious, report it. It’s important to remind the public that the fight against banditry is complex.

“Many of the attacks occur deep in the forests, where response operations require time, coordination, and local intelligence.

“That is why the Katsina Community Watch Corps was established — to assist in these difficult terrains.”

According to Muazu, they are working side by side with the Army, Air Force, Police, and local vigilantes.

He, therefore, called on all well-meaning citizens, religious leaders, and community elders to continue offering prayers and support.
