Katsina Governor Dikko Umar Radda

Governor Radda boldly stated, "It has turned out to be a business venture. A business venture for the criminals, some people who are in government; and some people who are in security outfits, and some people who are responsible for the day-to-day activities of their people." This explosive claim suggests that some individuals in positions of power are profiting from the ongoing insecurity, perpetuating a cycle of violence and exploitation.

In a stunning revelation, Katsina State Governor Dikko Radda has exposed that banditry has evolved into a lucrative business venture for some government officials and security personnel. This shocking admission was made during an appearance on Channels TV's Politics Today, where he attributed this phenomenon to the difficulty in ending the menace of banditry and insecurity in Nigeria.

Governor Radda boldly stated, "It has turned out to be a business venture. A business venture for the criminals, some people who are in government; and some people who are in security outfits, and some people who are responsible for the day-to-day activities of their people." This explosive claim suggests that some individuals in positions of power are profiting from the ongoing insecurity, perpetuating a cycle of violence and exploitation.

The governor's assertion is backed by the alarming rise in bandit attacks on rural communities, resulting in countless kidnappings and abductions. Despite President Bola Tinubu's prioritization of eliminating insecurity, the issue persists, with many attributing it to political motives. However, Governor Radda disagrees, citing poverty and injustice as primary drivers of the crisis.

In a surprising twist, the governor revealed that some northern governors, including himself, were invited to a meeting in the US to discuss solutions to the region's insecurity. Although the trip faced criticism, Governor Radda clarified that it was initiated by the United States Institute of Peace, providing a platform for governors to engage with experts and find lasting solutions.

This meeting yielded valuable insights into the complex issue of insecurity, and Governor Radda's courageous expose has sparked a much-needed conversation about the root causes of banditry and the need for collective action to combat this growing menace.
