The Katsina State Governor, Dikko Radda, has urged the people of his state to stand up against bandits, and defend their communities themselves.
It was reported that in a video recently shared by Sahara Reporters, Radda pointed out the difference between the bandits and the people us their weapons and the fear they create among locals.
He claimed if people look at all the bandits in Katsina State, they probably do not even have 700 guns. But, when the residents see or hear about these bandits, who are often weak and underfed, they will flee their homes in fear, with many hiding under their beds.
He said, “Nothing is more painful than seeing someone having sexual intercourse with your daughter in your presence. There are some embarrassments that are better if you die than experience it.
Any village where the bandits know that they are well prepared and can protect their community against bandit invasion they will always pass when they are around the axis without attacking the locals.”
Further talking, the governor urged the people of Katsina State to stand up against bandits and protect themselves. He alleged anytime or whenever 10 bandits attack a community and the locals come out in their 100s, if they (bandits) kill people, then the community should be able to overpower the bandits, kill or arrest them.
He added, “They are liars, they are more afraid of death than us. Their aim is to scare people, why will we allow them to scare us for nothing?”
