This has created anxiety in the others LGAs.<\/p>\n<p>Speaking on the development, Comrade Jamilu said, \u201cI see no reason why government should still hold down the networks why the bandits had already devised other means of communicating with their victims or those they have kidnapped. The bandits have so many ways of reaching out. In fact, they have even introduced a new method, whereby they will take two people, then discharge one to go and bring money at \u2018so-so\u2019 time and \u2018so-so\u2019 place. Besides, they can move freely to find out wherever they can at least source for a network to negotiate for the ransome of their kidnappers. So, why would government hold the network? It has no use. It is only inflicting another injury on the good citizens not on the bandits.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>According to him, \u201cWe have reports that the bandits are using Turaya Cellular phones to reach out to wherever and whoever they want to reach out to. Irrespective of whether it is a short or long range. Whatever it is, they have created another means to beat it. So, the government has no reason whatsoever to hold on access to telephone services in the remaining local governments. They should allow the citizens to enjoy their lives.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Jamilu added that allowing the residents in the bandits prone areas access to mobile phone services \u201cwould help them to communicate with security agents whenever there is an attack or impending attack as they are able to monitor the movements of the bandits or kidnappers and then inform another village that these people are moving from \u201cso-so\u201d place to another place so that the people can either get prepared or take what they need and run away from the area or inform the security agents.<\/p>\n<p>The 7 local governments in Katsina State where citizens have continually been denied access to mobile telecom services for about 4 months now include Faskari, Sabuwa, Batsari, Safana, Kankara, Danmusa and Jibia.<\/p>\n<p><strong>For More News And Analysis About <a href=\"https:\/\/www.africa-press.net\/nigeria\">Nigeria<\/a> Follow <a href=\"https:\/\/www.africa-press.net\/\">Africa-Press<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Africa-Press &#8211; Nigeria.
