Katsina state Governor, Aminu Masari, says children abandoned in the forest across the region, are now returning to terrorize the society as bandits.<\/p>\n
Masari stated this over the weekend, while speaking about his administration\u2019s effort in curbing the activities of bandits in the state.<\/p>\n
The Governor said if the education of the people is not addressed, the situation might become worse in future.<\/p>\n
\u201cWe have problems now with the forest people because they have no education of any kind. They do not have Islamic education and they do not have Western education because they have been abandoned in the forest and forgotten. So these are the kind of children who have come up today, fighting us, fighting the society,\u201d Masari said.<\/p>\n
\u201cIf we don\u2019t do more to address it, what will come out of the forest in the next 20 years compared with what we have today, will turn out to be like a child\u2019s play.<\/p>\n
\u201cDue to lack of education, they only know one pleasure, which is pleasure of the flesh and that is why they keep on producing children in large numbers.<\/p>\n
\u201cI was told this evening that somebody can mobilise over 350 armed men from the forest and we are talking about 350 men without formal schooling, neither Islamic nor Western and they are all married and have children.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
