Katsina Govt Calls on FG to Address Insecurity and End Fear

The Acting Governor of Katsina State, Malam Faruk Lawal-Jobe, has called on the Federal Government to urgently provide comprehensive security assistance to protect residents from escalating violence.

The appeal came on Tuesday in Katsina, following a tragic attack in Unguwan Muntau community, Malumfashi Local Government Area, where 13 worshippers were killed inside a mosque.

Lawal-Jobe stressed the urgent need for immediate presidential intervention to halt the ongoing threats against innocent citizens.

“We respectfully request Mr. President to issue clear directives to all security agencies to decisively end these unprovoked attacks on our peaceful communities,” he said.

“The people of Katsina State deserve to live without fear, and our farmers, traders, and families should be able to carry on with their lives safely. We need the President’s direct involvement to mobilize resources and build the security framework our state urgently requires.”

The acting governor also expressed appreciation for the efforts of security forces currently deployed in the state, particularly praising the Community Watch Corps and Vigilante Groups for their steadfast defense against criminal activities.

The Katsina state government reaffirmed its commitment to collaborating with federal authorities and security agencies to restore lasting peace and stability throughout the state.
