Dikko Umaru Radda, the governor of Katsina State, has teamed up with security personnel to raid several criminals’ hideouts in the state capital of Katsina.
Ibrahim Kaula Mohammed, the governor’s principal press secretary, stated in a statement he released yesterday that the governor personally led the security personnel to storm the state’s criminals’ hideouts between 10 and 11:30 night.
According to the statement, the security raided hideouts in the states of Sabuwar Unguwa, Sharar Pipe, Dan Hako, Filin Polo, Kofar Guga, and Tudun Matawalle.
“The criminals, in recent months, have been terrorizing residents of the aforementioned areas and other parts of Katsina metropolis.
“Following last night’s “clearance operation’ at the identified criminals’ abodes, Radda, early today, summoned an emergency meeting with security chiefs in the state over the resurgence of crimes in some parts of Katsina,” he said.
He expressed his worry and displeasure over the acute security challenges bedeviling the state, urging the security chiefs to be more proactive in carrying out their statutory responsibilities.
