The Governor of Katsina State, Aminu Masari, says he cannot look the people of the state in the eye because he has failed in protecting them.
He admitted this on Monday in an interaction with newsmen.
The governor described the bandits that have been attacking, kidnapping and killing residents of the state as “worse than animals”.
Masari admitted that he could not look residents of Katsina “in the face because we have failed to protect them, contrary to our pledge to ensure the security of lives and property”.

According to him, “a lion or a tiger kills only when it is hungry and it doesn’t kill all animals, it only kills the one it can eat at a time”.
“But what we see here is that bandits come to town, spray bullets, kill indiscriminately for no purpose and no reason whatsoever, like the recent massacre of people at Faskari and parts of Dandume local government area.”
Masari said he wondered how humans could be behaving the bandits were doing by killing people at will.
