Katsina takes census of bandits’ ravaged communities
Katsina State government is taking census of communities ravaged by bandits to provide psychosocial and economic support to them, an official said on Friday.
Ibrahim Ahmad-Katsina, the Special Adviser to Governor Aminu Masari on Security Matters, told journalists in Katsina that the aim was also to address the victims’ trauma.
He said that a committee headed by Deputy Governor Mannir Yakubu was undertaking the census of banditry-affected victims in the state.
“We are applying simple psychological measures to manage the perception of the children of the banditry-affected victims because the children of those affected by banditry will surely like to take revenge, so that’s why we want to support them to overcome the trauma,” he said.
The special adviser added that the government would also support widows with skills and trades, as well as ensure children return to school.
