Yushau Shuaib: Is Katsina the new haven of terror-banditry in Nigeria
Published
Was it not strange that the abduction of Kankara boys occurred on the day President Muhammadu Buhari arrived in Daura, his hometown, in Katsina, on a private visit? It is even more curious that the abductees were released on his birthday. Buhari last visited the state in December 2019, when he inaugurated construction work on the N18billion University of Transportation, Daura.
While Borno in the North-East is the epicentre of Boko Haram terrorism, Zamfara in the North-West seems to be the hotbed of armed banditry, and Katsina, the home state of the President is fast becoming the haven of the fusion of notorious gangs of terror-bandits. Recently, terrorists massacred over 45 farmers at Zabarmani in Borno. Bandits kidnapped an Imam and 17 Muslim worshipers while observing congregational prayer at Dutsen Gari mosque in Zamfara before the terror-bandits abducted large population of students in Kankara.
