Katsina State Government has reacted to the resurgence of banditry in eight local government areas of the state, saying it was a desperate move by the criminals who have been under intense pressure.
The state Deputy Governor, Faruk Lawal, said this at a press conference in Katsina on Thursday.
He explained that security forces have pinned the bandits to only eight of the 22 local government areas they were hitherto operating.
