Their sacrifices reflect the seriousness and commitment of both the government and the security architecture. It must also be acknowledged that the government, through the office of the special adviser on banditry and internal security, provides support to victims, rescued persons, and families of fallen heroes,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n<p>The Commissioner, who urged residents of the state to report suspicious activities, stated that the government would continue to invest heavily in ensuring that security forces were well-equipped and motivated.<\/p>\n<p>He said, \u201cBut beyond that, success in this fight depends on collective support \u2014 not just from the government, but from all citizens. We urge the people of Katsina to remain calm and resolute. Avoid the temptation to believe or share unverified stories.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cIf you see something suspicious, report it. It\u2019s important to remind the public that the fight against banditry is complex. Many of the attacks occur deep in the forests, where response operations require time, coordination, and local intelligence. That is why the Katsina Community Watch Corps was established \u2014 to assist in these difficult terrains.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>According to Muazu, they are working closely with the Army, Air Force, Police, and local vigilantes.<\/p>\n<p>He, however, said that the government observed with concern the deliberate attempts by some individuals to create panic and incite fear among residents through the spread of false and misleading information on social media.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThese narratives aim to downplay the significant progress made so far in the fight against banditry and insecurity under the leadership of Governor Dikko Radda,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n<p>According to him, when Mr Radda assumed office in 2023, 24 local government areas were affected by banditry.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cToday, with focused strategies and enhanced collaboration with security agencies, notable improvement has been achieved across many parts of the state,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n<p>Mr Muazu revealed that the security had improved, but with a few remote pockets of insecurity in Malumfashi, Kurfi, Dutsinma, Kankia, Musawa, Bakori, Funtua, Sabuwa, and Dandume LGAs.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cLGAs still experiencing attacks are Faskari, Kankara, and Matazu. Government intervention is still ongoing,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n<p>He, therefore, called on all well-meaning citizens, religious leaders, and community elders to continue offering prayers and support.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Muazu said the scale of casualties highlights the magnitude of the security crisis that faces the state Armed bandits terrorising Nigeria&#8217;s Northwest region have killed over 100 personnel of the Katsina State security outfit, Community Watch Corps, the state government said on Monday.
