Africa-Press – Nigeria. <\/strong><\/span>The Katsina State Governor, Aminu Bello Masari has narrated how bandits deceived him twice using the Qur\u2019an in his office.<\/p>\n

Masari said he regrets the trust reposed in bandits to have a change of heart during negotiations after they swore with the Qur\u2019an.<\/p>\n

The Governor vowed never to trust them again, stressing that they deceived his government into believing that they had surrendered their weapons by swearing with the Qur\u2019an.<\/p>\n

He disclosed this while hosting the United Nations Development Programme, UNDP, in Katsina over the weekend.<\/p>\n

According to Masari: \u201cBecause they (terrorists) said they are Muslims, we went as far as asking them to swear to the Holy Qur\u2019an that they will never participate in banditry again.<\/p>\n

\u201cAll of them did it in this office, but even those that have been in jail for over two years that were brought out are today bandits\u2019 leaders.<\/p>\n

\u201cAnybody who says he is going to engage them on anything is free. I will pray for him but I will not do it again.\u201d<\/p>\n
