We should not just be condemning what is happening in Katsina State as far as banditry is concerned.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWe need to do something serious. After declaring the bandits as terrorists, we shouldn\u2019t allow them again to continue their rubbish act.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWe have to look at it critically. May be we assume that the security agents are doing their best but to me , they need to do more than their best. How can the bandits just go and kidnap 38 people in a single community?<\/p>\n<p>\u201cSince we have declared these people as terrorists what are we still waiting for? Can\u2019t we just order the soldiers to enter the bush and just bomb all of them?<\/p>\n<p>\u201cOur condemnation of the banditry activities every day is not enough. We know where they (the bandits) are. Everybody know where they are located.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThe government should give an order so that they would be bombed in their hideouts.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Meanwhile the Senate, in its resolutions, urged the security agencies to comb all known hide outs of the kidnappers in a bid to rescue the 38 persons abducted by the gunmen in Ruwan Godiya.<\/p>\n<p>The red chamber also urged the Federal Government to send enough military personnel and fighter jets to apprehend the bandits and restore normalcy in these areas<\/p>\n<p>It equally urged the Federal Government to take drastic actions to bring to an end the act of banditry and kidnapping in Katsina and other parts of the country.<\/p>\n<div class=\"yj6qo\" style=\"text-align: justify;\"><\/div>\n<div class=\"adL\" style=\"text-align: justify;\"><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<!-- AddThis Advanced Settings generic via filter on the_content --><!-- AddThis Share Buttons generic via filter on the_content --><!-- AddThis Related Posts generic via filter on the_content -->","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The Senator representing Katsina Central in the National Assembly, Kabir Abdullahi Barkiya, on Wednesday declared that the hideouts of the bandits terrorising the people of Katsina State were well known&hellip;<!-- AddThis Advanced Settings generic via filter on wp_trim_excerpt --><!-- AddThis Share Buttons generic via filter on wp_trim_excerpt --><!-- AddThis Related Posts generic via filter on wp_trim_excerpt --><\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":91450,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_lmt_disableupdate":"","_lmt_disable":"","footnotes":""},"categories":[4],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-91449","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-other-news"],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v26.8 - https:\/\/yoast.com\/product\/yoast-seo-wordpress\/ -->\n<title>Bandits&#039;
