Katsina State Governor, Dikko Radda, on Thursday, ruled out any form of negotiation with terrorists by his administration.
Radda made this known during a special prayer session organized by the state government to seek divine intervention against insecurity amidst the economic hardship facing the state.
“We don’t have plans to give amnesty to terrorists, but we are ready to accept them if they are ready to embrace peace and lay down their arms,” he said.
“This event is not all about prayers, but also for the clerics to step down our message to their various communities to see to the end of the lingering security issues in our dear state and by extension, the country in general.
“We need the cooperation of each and every member of the public to ensure that information is provided to us so that we can fish out the terrorists and criminals terrorising the residents.”
“We must support our security agencies with information on the movements of the terrorists and their collaborators,” Radda maintained.
