He mentioned that the responsibility of internal security lies with the Nigerian Police and as such, it won’t allow criminal activities any breeding space.

He said: “Recently we have seen an act of Banditry moving from the epicenter we used to know and were converging in Katsina state.

“We believe we must strategize with other stakeholders, citizens of the state, and cooperative partners like Miyetti Allah and other law enforcement agencies so that every nooks and cranny of the state are manned and not to allow any space for these criminals to operate whether in the morning, afternoon or night.”
