Time up, new Katsina gov tells bandits

The new Governor of Katsina State, Dikko Radda, on Monday, stated that bandits operating in the state would face the wrath of the law if they failed to abandon their criminal acts.

Radda gave this warning in his inaugural address after he and Faruq Jobe were sworn in as governor and deputy governor respectively by the Chief Judge of the state, Justice Musa Danladi.

He said, �Politics are over. I belong to every person in Katsina State. In the coming days and months, we shall evolve strategies to restore peace and development in the state.

�For the next four years, we shall bring peace and prosperity to the state. I will deploy strategies and involve communities in tackling banditry and criminality in the state. To the bandits, I say abandon your cause or face the full wrath of the law.�

Radda also assured �President Bola Tinubu that Katsina State is ready to partner with the Federal Government on issues that will bring peace and progress to the state, including the issue of insecurity.�
