Katsina State’s Governor, Dikko Umaru Radda has raised the alarm that bandits terrorising the state were now after his life and had threatened to kill him.
Nigeria’s last President Muhammadu Buhari hails from Daura in Katsina State.
The Governor disclosed this during an emergency security council meeting at the Government House on Friday.
According to Radda, the bandits’ threats came to his knowledge via security reports.
Speaking in Hausa, Radda said: “Based on security reports that we are receiving, I am among those that the bandits are thinking of attacking, but that doesn’t muddle me because God is with us, and he will protect us.”
However, the Governor explained that the threat by the hoodlums would not stop his government from adopting revolving security strategies to tackle banditry and other security challenges in the state.
The security meeting had in attendance the heads of security agencies in the state, traditional and religious leaders.
Also present were top government functionaries and members of the business community.
