The Convener of the Katsina Community Security Initiative, Dr. Bashir Kurfi, has accused the government of lacking genuine interest in ending banditry in Katsina State, alleging officials negotiate with killers and even sponsored bandit leaders to Saudi Arabia for Hajj.

Speaking on Daily Politics on Trust TV, Kurfi declared: “They are not interested of having peace in the state or to eradicate them. But, who... The government.” He argued that community vigilantes need training to curb “excesses” and insisted Fulani must be recruited into local defense efforts because “Fulani, actually, were the first victim of this terror.”

When challenged that Fulani are “the people terrorizing Katsina now,” Kurfi said cattle rustling destroyed their economy first. “So now, the Fulani at the end, they found out that they have not in peace... so they reacted,” he said. “Once you do those kind, and then you are having bad governance... these people who were holding sticks, they start holding guns.”

Kurfi cited a contradiction in the government’s approach. He said Defence Minister Badaru Abubakar “reject in totality these negotiations” and asked “how can you sit and negotiate with a murderer?” Yet, he alleged, “the government meets with him, the government sits with him, government allow committee to go and sit and do this kind of things with them.” He referenced Auwalu Ganki in Jibia, “one of the biggest bandits,” saying “he interacts with government.”

He made further claims about bandit leaders traveling freely. “In fact, it is alleged in Katsina, the government paid about 10-10 million for bandit to go to Saudi Arabia, for Hajj,” Kurfi said. Pressed by the journalist, he added: “Yeah, I say these are allegations, it's an allegation.” He named others: “this big bandit like Manuri... many of them are in Saudi Arabia.”

Kurfi questioned the logic of the trips. “How can you be a murderer? You don't have any faith, and then they take you to Mecca and call you Alhaji. And then you... they allow you to fly from Nigerian airport and come back from Nigerian airport,” he said. “And these are people who not only kill civilians, but they kill also the military.”

He clarified his stance on peace efforts, saying the anti-banditry movement he backed was “a community responsibility” where participants “are not paid by government.” He stressed recruitment must be local: “If you are taking local vigilante person, for example, in Abuja, in Wuse... you cannot go and take somebody from Garki. It has to be somebody in that community.”

Malam Abdu is blind, married, and a father of two young children.

Despite his disability, he refuses to beg.
Instead, he earns a living as a handcart pusher in Ganye, Adamawa State, supporting his family through honest labour.

His children help him daily: one walks ahead, guiding him by his clothes, while the other pushes the cart from behind as they deliver goods to the motor park for a fee.

Malam Abdu is not deterred by his condition. He values hard work over charity, his spirit remains unbroken. He is able, not disabled.

🇺🇸🇮🇱 Vice president JD Vance has had enough and threatens Israel:

“If I was in the cabinet of the Israeli government, I might not be attacking the only powerful ally that I have left

2/3 of the defensive weapons that have protected your homeland have been built by American hands and paid for by American tax dollars.”

GOOD NEWS: Troops of Operation FANSAN YANMA rescued Mrs Abubakar, wife of late retired Maj-Gen Rabe Abubakar, after a bandit abducted them on 30 May. She was shot, treated and evacuated.

A grim reminder of the human toll behind every rescue headline.
