Aminu Masari, Governor Katsina State
Governor Aminu Masari of Katsina State has urged the government to stop high profile kidnappings in the country.
The governor who recalled that in his State, four relatives of very senior government officials were kidnapped noted that, “When they cannot get anything to sustain themselves, they resort to high-profile kidnappings for money in cities and towns. That is the danger, that is something we must work hard to stop”.
The governor who on Wednesday was a guest on Channels Television’s Politics Today however, strongly opposed the idea of granting blanket amnesty to the bandits, stating that the idea is enabling the miscreants to continue with their crimes
Nigeria has become economically attractive to kidnappers and bandits within the Sahel region of the continent.
Masari argued that the security situation in the country has improved since the All Progressives Congress took the reigns.
“When we started in 2015 in the North-West, it was cattle-rustling. Gradually, it now developed into banditry, rape, kidnappings. When all that they (bandits) can steal from the villagers along the fringes finished, they moved to the rustling of goats, sheep, and even chicken.
