Vice President Professor Yemi Osinbajo has assured the people of Katsina state to expect reduction in the activities of bandits in the state and the country at large now that the bandits have been declared as terrorists.

“We should expect to see significant changes and peace. So by the grace of God peace will retire completely to all our villages and communities.
” This is the President’s desire and I am sure with all the measures taking place, we should be able to see very significant changes in the security situation in the country.”
Osibanjo, then thanked the emirate for the worm reception given to him, as he prayed for God’s guidance and protection to the people and members of the emirate.
On his part, the Emir of Katsina, Alhaji Abudlmumini Kabir Usman, thanked the Vice President for the visit and said he is happy that the federal government has declared bandits as terrorists that they can be rid away.
He urged people to have a clean mind and be obedient to God so that He will answer our prayers, adding that people should be their brother’s keepers and love one another for peaceful coexistence in the State and nation.
