Governor Dikko Radda of Katsina State stated that under his leadership, the incidence of banditry has decreased by approximately 70% over the past year.
The governor claimed that this was the result of the strong collaboration between the state’s conventional security agencies and local security groups.
Radda revealed this to reporters on Saturday while she was in Yola on a work-related visit.
