Governor Radda, visibly moved by the sight of the wounded officers, hailed their bravery and pledged the government’s continued support for their recovery and welfare. “Your courage and sacrifice will never be forgotten. The people of Katsina stand with you,” he said while speaking at their bedside.
The Governor also extended prayers and kind words to other patients at the facility, reinforcing his administration’s commitment to quality healthcare and human dignity.
He was accompanied by prominent officials including Alhaji Kabiru Bature Sarkin Alhazai, Chairman of the State Pilgrims Welfare Board; Sarkin Kuraye, Alhaji Usman Darda’u; several district heads; and the Special Adviser on Security and Community Watch, Alhaji Yusuf Ibrahim Safana, who coordinated the visit.
The visit not only highlighted Governor Radda’s hands-on approach to governance but also underscored his firm resolve to prioritize the safety and morale of Katsina’s frontline defenders.
