Insecurity: ‘Soldiers Can’t Save You From Bandits, Defend Yourselves Like Americans’— Masari To Nigerians
Gov. Masari has called on Nigerians to Defend themselves like Americans because the Army and the police cannot protect them against armed bandits.
EKO HOT BLOG reports that the Katsina State Governor, Aminu Bello Masari has again restated his call on the residents and Nigerian at large to defend themselves against terrorists and other criminals that have put the country under siege.
The governor, who spoke during the 2022 special prayer in Katsina, insisted that the reality on the ground has shown that the security of life and property is a collective responsibility and not that of the government or security agencies alone.

The special prayer was in commemoration of ‘Yaumush Shukur’ (Thanksgiving Day) for God’s blessings on the state.
This happened on the day many people marched on the streets of Abuja, calling for an end to worsening insecurity.
He said: “The security challenges we are facing, in terms of killings and kidnappings, are not only limited to Katsina or Nigeria but they happen everywhere, even in America and China. But their citizens don’t fold their arms and wait for the government.
“So, don’t lock yourselves inside and say it is the responsibility of the government or police to defend you. How many people will the police defend? But if you defend yourself, it will reduce the work of policemen and soldiers.”
