Katsina State Governor, Dikko Umar Radda, has sounded the alarm that internal collaborators are the biggest threat to efforts in combating banditry in the state. Speaking at a special prayer organized by Islamic scholars to mark his second year in office, Radda revealed that about 70% of bandits' information providers and logistic enablers live in towns and villages.
The governor highlighted the critical role these informants play in enabling banditry, providing essential supplies like food, drugs, and fuel to the criminals. Some even help sell rustled animals and carry supplies from villages to the bush, further exacerbating the security situation.
Radda emphasized that security is a collective responsibility and urged citizens, clerics, and political office holders to lend more support to the government in the fight against banditry. "No government can win this battle alone," he stressed.
The governor also spoke about the impact of poor parenting on society, noting that children without proper guidance are vulnerable to criminal tendencies. He called on parents to instill good morals in their children to prevent them from falling prey to crime.
