Katsina State Governor, Dikko Umaru Radda, has raised fresh concerns over alleged information leaks within security operations in the state, revealing that a suspected Boko Haram operative identified as Mohammed appeared to have immediate access to confidential discussions held during high-level security meetings.
Radda made the disclosure during an interview on Channels Television while discussing the growing security challenges confronting several communities in Katsina State and the difficulties authorities face in tackling insurgency and armed attacks in the region.
According to the governor, the situation has become increasingly alarming because some security plans discussed behind closed doors appear to reach criminal elements almost immediately after meetings are concluded.
He said the development has complicated efforts by security agencies and government officials to coordinate effective operations against terrorists and bandits operating across affected areas of the state.
While explaining the extent of the problem, Radda recounted a particular incident involving a high-level security meeting held at the Katsina Government House.
In his words, “There was a day I called high-level security meeting in the Government House on how to operate and deal with the situation.”
The governor said what happened shortly after the meeting raised serious suspicions about the presence of informants leaking sensitive information to criminal groups.
According to him, within minutes of the discussion, the suspect identified as Mohammed appeared to know details of the deliberations despite not being present at the meeting.
