Aminu Masari, the governor of Katsina State has exonerated President Muhammadu Buhari from any blame over the incessant banditry attacks in his home state and the Northwest.
Masari said on Sunday that the President has done everything possible to ensure security in the region, he said, adding that the military is yet to translate those efforts into reality.
Speaking while presenting of an N10 million economic empowerment cheque to 1,000 women and N7 million scholarship support cheque to 701 students in Rimi Local Government Area of the state donated by philanthropist Salisu Mamman Kadandani, Masari said that the bandits are now living with the people.
“We know them and their parents. To identify a bandit in rural communities is not a difficult task because you know his business, his farmland capacity and his livestock.
“If one day he buys a new motorcycle at over N200,000, then you must know that he is selling people’s lives.”
