Vice-President Kashim Shettima has pledged that the federal government will implement fresh tactics to tackle kidnapping, armed banditry, and other security issues across the nation.
The Vice President made this statement following a private meeting he had on Saturday at his Daura, Katsina State, home with former President Muhammadu Buhari.
This guarantee was given the day after Katsina State Governor Malam Dikko Umaru Radda pleaded with the federal government to send additional troops and supplies to the state to help it through the difficult period of ceaseless banditry attacks.
Shettima declared that all the resources and knowledge required to bring security and long-lasting peace to the impacted areas would be made available by the federal government.
