Following the directives of the Katsina state government on Monday to ban the activities of outlawed Yansakai group in the state, the Katsina State Police Command has issued directives to all its Area Commanders and DPOs to go after the recalcitrant offenders and their sponsors wherever they are in the state and bring them to justice.
The directive was contained in a press statement made available to Vanguard on Monday by the Police Public Relations Officer in the state, SP Gambo Isah on behalf of the the state Police Commissioner.
In the statement, the Command warned “members of the public to disassociate themselves with the group”, urging them to cooperate with security agencies and report any “Dansakai or Yansakai” within their domains, saying “the Command will not fold its arms while some disgruntled members of the public take laws into their hands, brazenly killing innocent citizens, destroying and looting public property without recourse to the rule of law.”
According to the statement, henceforth “the Nigeria Police Force and indeed other sister security agencies will deal decisively with any person or group of persons found parading themselves as Yansakai or any other like name in the state.”
