DEFENSE
The Katsina State Government has attributed recent bandit attacks in Malumfashi to leader Mani Doro, who has rejected peace negotiations, while reporting improved security from military operations and talks with repentant bandits. Civil Society Chairman Abdulrahman Abdullahi criticized state governments for inadequate implementation of peace agreements, emphasizing the need for state ownership of such initiatives. The federal government is urged to enhance security collaboration as military operations continue against bandits, with calls for support from traditional rulers.
