BREAKING: I Don’t Mind Sacrificing My Life To End Banditry – Katsina Governor
Governor Dikko Umaru Radda of Katsina has vowed to devote his life to eradicating banditry in the state.
During an interview with BBC Hausa, the governor emphasized that security remains a paramount concern, which prompted the enactment of a law to establish a volunteer force armed with weapons.
Just this Tuesday, the governor officially launched the Community Watch Corps, aimed at bolstering the endeavors of the traditional security agencies.

“We have inaugurated, trained, and equipped the volunteers, providing them with cars, motorbikes, and even armoured cars,” the governor said.
In terms of allowances, the governor clarified that the government has implemented the minimum wage system, and the volunteers will receive remuneration in accordance with this arrangement.
He said, “The public should be aware that these volunteers were doing this job unpaid and are motivated by a sense of duty to protect their families and communities.
“Some critics claim that the patrols are worsening the security situation, but this assertion is unfounded. Residents of affected areas know what is happening, and it is unacceptable to allow these people (bandits) to continue to kidnap and kill.
“I swear, as governor, even at the cost of my life, I will not allow someone come and harm my people. The problem of banditry has reached a point where we must all unite and put an end to it.
“Those who oppose these measures are likely motivated by the fact that their loved ones are not the ones being killed. Once all necessary preparations are complete, I will also enter the forest.”
