Kankara: IGP Adamu Speaks On Bandits Abducting Students Again

The Inspector-General of Police (IGP) Mohammed Adamu, says there won’t be a repeat of the abduction of 333 students of the Government Science Secondary School, Kankara, Katsina State.

Recall that bandits had abducted and released over 300 students of the school after the intervention of members of the Miyetti Allah and repentant bandits.

Speaking after a meeting at the Katsina State Police Command on Wednesday, IGP Adamu vowed not to allow a repeat of the incident.

Also at the meeting with the IGP was the Special Adviser to the Governor of Katsina State on Security, Ibrahim Katsina, the chairman of the state branch of Miyetti Allah Cattle Breeders Association (MACBAN) Alhaji Manir Atiku, and other stakeholders.

Adamu stated that the meeting was convened to strategize on how to stop bandits or criminals from operating in the state at any time of the day and night.

“The recent Kankara incident was unfortunate. I am in Katsina to ensure that such an incident will and shall never happen again,” he said.

“We are in Katsina today to ensure that the state is crime-free.

“Internal security is the job of the police. We should never give an opportunity to criminals to operate and we have resolved not to allow either bandits or any other criminals anytime to operate either in the morning, afternoon, or at night.

“That is why we are liaising with our partners including security agencies and other stakeholders like the Miyyetti Allah, not to allow bandits and other criminals to operate.”
