In a fresh push to crush banditry and restore peace, the Katsina State Government under the leadership of Governor Malam Dikko Umaru Radda has added 8 new Armored Personnel Carriers (APCs) to its security fleet.
This latest acquisition brings the total number of APCs procured by the state government to 18, underscoring Radda’s determination to give security forces the tools they need to confront bandits head-on.
Security analysts say the move is a bold reinforcement of Katsina’s anti-banditry strategy, giving operatives stronger mobility and firepower to reclaim troubled communities.
Governor Radda, since assuming office, has consistently stressed that securing lives and livelihoods remains his top priority—a stance that continues to resonate with residents who have borne the brunt of bandit attacks.
With 18 APCs now on ground, security observers believe Katsina is better positioned to match force with force in the ongoing war against criminal gangs.
Would you like me to add a strong closing quote from Radda (crafted in his usual tone) to make the story more compelling for publication?
