Banditry
Now Business Venture–Gov. Radda.
Katsina State Governor, Dikko Radda, has accused some Government
officials and security personnel of aiding banditry in the country.
Radda added that it has become difficult to end banditry
as it has now turned into a “business venture.”
He also noted that those behind banditry are not doing it
for political reasons, saying, “The issue of the hypothesis behind political
motive as responsible for banditry is not true.”
The Governor disclosed further that many “northern youths
are recruited into banditry with a mere N500.”
To address the escalating insecurity in the northern
region, some northern Governors recently embarked on a trip to the US.
The foreign trip attracted backlash with many wondering
why holding the meeting abroad instead of in Nigeria.
Radda, however, clarified that they were merely invited
to attend the conference.
