Governor Aminu Masari of Katsina State has said that \u201cthirty policemen provide security for one hundred villages in the state\u201d.<\/p>\n
He said the state was looking at the extant laws on community policing with a view to giving power to village heads and local authorities and supporting current police efforts to improve the security situation.<\/p>\n
Masari made the disclosure in Katsina at this year\u2019s Chief of Air Staff Eid-el-Kabir luncheon with troops of Operation Hadarin Daji and that of 213 Forward Operating Base.<\/p>\n
The Governor also called for a quick end to banditry and other crimes in the Northwest zone of Nigeria, warning that any delay in doing so may lead to a replay of the situation being experienced in the North-East in the zone.<\/p>\n
He said, \u201cWe have seen some traces that are alarming and frightening at the same time that we need to tackle before the North West become another theatre like North East.\u201d<\/p>\n
The Governor insisted that \u201cwithout urgent efforts to quickly tackle the bandits, the task could be more difficult\u201d.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
