Former Kano State governor, Senator Rabiu Musa Kwankwaso, has raised fresh concern over what he described as worrisome infiltration of armed bandits into Tsanyawa, Shanono, Bagwai, Gwarzo and Karaye local government areas of the State.
Kwankwaso, who spoke during the 4th Convocation Ceremony of Skyline University Nigeria, said those border communities were under severe pressure and demanded urgent action from the Federal Government.
“Kano has been secure for many years, but these recent attacks pose a serious threat. A Commander-in-Chief must rise to the responsibility of protecting lives and property,” he noted.
The 2023 presidential candidate of the New Nigeria Peoples Party (NNPP) also condemned the reported peace accords between some Katsina communities and bandits, describing them as reckless and capable of worsening insecurity in neighbouring states.
Kwankwaso therefore urged the Federal Government to boost border patrols, reinforce deployments and prevent further escalation of attacks.
