Yusuf Bello| President Muhammadu Buhari has assured the government and people of Katsina state of renewed efforts to improve security of lives and property in the state and has warned bandits to surrender or face “disgraceful and violent end’’.
In a statement, Garba Shehu, presidential spokesman, said Buhari, who gave the warning at a meeting with Aminu Masari, governor of Katsina, said bandits, who have committed crimes against innocent citizens in the state, and across the country, will not be spared.
He, therefore, warned bandits to surrender their weapons, or face “disgraceful and violent ends’’.
The President said more decisive military operations against bandits in Zamfara, Sokoto, Niger, Katsina, and Kaduna States will be undertaken.
Buhari also commiserated with Masari over the loss of lives in the attacks.
Some of the people who lost their lives to recent attacks include Abu Atiku, district head of Yantumaki in Danmusa local government area of Katsina state, and Abdulhamid Sani, chairman of the All Progressives Congress (APC) in Batsari local government area.
