On Friday, Governor Dikko Umaru Radda of Katsina State revealed that marauding bandits, causing terror in certain areas of the state, have issued threats to attack him.
The governor made this known during an expanded emergency security council meeting at the Government House.
He stated that the bandits’ threat was based on security reports.
Speaking in Hausa, Radda said: “Based on security reports that we are receiving, I am among those that the bandits are thinking of attacking, but that doesn’t muddle me because God is with us, and he will protect us.”
However, the governor explained that the threat by the hoodlums would not stop his government from adopting revolving security strategies to tackle banditry and other security challenges in the state.
The security meeting had in attendance the heads of security agencies in the state, traditional and religious leaders, top government officials and members of the business community and was still going at time of filing this report.
