People Are Killed, Kidnapped Daily, Tell Buhari Nigeria Unsafe – Emir of Katsina

The Emir of Katsina, Abdulmumini Kabir Usman has asked the Minister of Agriculture Audu Ogbe, to inform President Muhammadu Buhari that Katsina people and other Nigerians are not safe due to incessant kidnapping and killings.

He spoke when Ogbeh and the Central Bank of Nigeria (CBN) Governor Godwin Emefiele, visited him ahead of the national launching of distribution of cotton seeds/inputs to farmers for the 2019 planting season.

“Hon Minister, tell the president that we have to take very good care of our people, security first. All these programmes, as good as they are, cannot be without security. Security is first and fundamental,” Daily Trust quoted the emir as saying

“Every day I receive reports of kidnapping and killings from district and village heads”.

The monarch alleged that government officials, politicians and wealthy individuals who are enemies within and outside government are behind the incessant killings and kidnapping across the country.

“What are you to gain by killing, kidnapping people? It’s very unfortunate. I have not seen this kind of country; how do we live like animals?

“Three days ago Magajin Gari (of Daura emirate council) was abducted, nobody is safe now, whether in your house or road, wherever you are.

“What we want you to do for us is to stop the fight. Many people have deserted, abandoned their farms in fear of kidnapping and killings and other atrocities, it’s very unfortunate,” he said.
