Activist, Mahdi Shehu, has raised the alarm over what he described as a “victory parade” by armed bandits in Bakori Local Government Area of Katsina State, lamenting that criminal gangs now operate with impunity and impose their own rules on helpless communities.
According to him, most residents are left with no choice but to submit to the dictates of the bandits, agreeing to their terms in order to gain temporary safety, access their farms, and carry out daily market activities.
“The bandits have effectively carved out their own state within a state, where their rules override those of the government,” Shehu wrote, warning that similar situations persist in many parts of Northern Nigeria.
