Emir declares death for bandits

In what will gladden the heart of many Nigerians given its bluntness, the Emir of Katsina, Abdulmuminu Usman, declared death for bandits.

According to the respected emir, bandits killing people in the northwest deserve nothing but death. He declared this while speaking during a security stakeholders' meeting in Katsina.

He insisted that since the bandits have decided to go after people’s lives, they also ”don’t deserve to live”. Going further, he called for speedy prosecution of the criminals. He said the delay in prosecuting them will be counterproductive since it won't serve as a deterrent.
