Peace deals are yielding results in Katsina — Gov Radda

 Katsina State Governor, Dikko Radda, says community-led
peace agreements with bandits in parts of the state are beginning to show signs
of improved security.

 

Radda stated this during a visit to Batsari and Danmusa
Local Government Areas as part of his ongoing tour of council areas.

 

He said some communities previously affected by attacks had
reached peace deals that have reduced incidents of killings and abductions.

 

To highlight the reported improvement, the governor on
Friday travelled through the Danburum Forest in Batsari LGA, a route once
avoided due to bandit activity. Farming activities are gradually returning to
the area, officials said.

 

Radda said the state had recorded fewer security-related
reports in recent days. “The peace deal initiative organised by the communities
is yielding positive results. In the last few days, I have not received a
single incident report from the security forces,” he said.

 

He added that government spending on medical support for
victims of attacks has dropped. A state agency that previously spent over N40
million monthly on treatment and related assistance spent less than N2 million
in November, according to him.

 

Support for families of victims has also reduced, though the
governor noted that banditry has not been completely eliminated in the state.

 

Radda urged residents and religious leaders to continue
praying for sustained peace.
