THE Katsina State Police Command has confirmed the killing of one man and abduction of two children of the Chairman of Matazu Local Government Council in Katsina State by bandits.
The incident is a major dent in current peace efforts initiated by Gov Aminu Masari with bandits operating mostly in eight local government areas in the state.
Matazu local government has largely been unaffected by banditry.
