Katsina State Governor Aminu Masari has urged security operatives to ensure the rescue of the Christian worshippers who terrorists abducted on Sunday in the state.
The Governor gave this plea during a special meeting he held with heads of various security agencies in the state.
He also directed that security be reinforced in all worship centres in the state with a view to ensuring the protection of worshippers in those places.
This was made public in a statement by Governor Masari’s Director-General in charge of the New media, Al- Amin Isah, on Tuesday evening.
The government put the number of the abducted worshippers at eight whose names were given as Rabi Isiyaku, Rabi Saidu, Saratu Hadi, Nusaibu Shuaibu, Gaje Adamu, Bilikisu Tijjani, Iliya Tijjani and Aisha Tijjani.
The statement added that Governor Masari “urged the security agencies to do everything possible to rescue the victims and ensure that they are reunited with their families.”
Masari also directed traditional rulers and community leaders in the state to furnish security operatives with genuine information on criminals in their various communities.
