 Katsina State Disburses Over ₦50 Million to Support Banditry Victims


The Katsina State government has distributed over ₦50 million to victims of bandit attacks in Matazu, Kankia, and Batsari local government areas.

He highlighted that Governor Radda’s administration has consistently extended similar support over the past two years to families who lost loved ones or were otherwise affected by banditry.


He also urged Katsina residents to pray for an end to insecurity and assist security agencies by providing intelligence on criminal activities.


Musa Maikudi, Chairman of Kankia Local Government, praised the state government’s proactive measures to combat insecurity and advised beneficiaries to use the funds judiciously.


This initiative reaffirms the Katsina State government’s commitment to mitigating the impact of banditry on its communities and supporting those affected by the crisis.
