If You Die While Fighting Bandits, You’re Martyrs – Katsina Governor Urges Residents To Defend Families

The Katsina State Governor, Aminu Masari, has told residents of the state to brace up against the ravaging bandits, noting that they will become martyrs if they die fighting against bandits terrorising the state.

He urged them to get guns and other lethal weapons to wade off the bandits.

Katsina, which is President Muhammadu Buhari’s home state, has had a fair share of bandits’ attacks, killings and kidnappings for ransom in the last two years.

“It’s Islamically allowed for one to defend himself against attack. One must rise to defend himself, his family and assets. If you die while trying to defend yourself, you’ll be considered a martyr,” Masari asserted.

The Katsina governor said he was ready to support Katsina people who could make lethal weapons available for use against the marauding bandits.

He stated these at a media parley held in Katsina on Tuesday, People’s Gazette reports.

“We’ll support those who come with the initiative to procure arms because residents need to also complement the efforts of security agencies,” Masari added.

“It’s surprising how a bandit would own a gun while a good man trying to defend himself and his family doesn’t have one.”

He insisted that the country did not have enough policemen and soldiers to protect lives.

“Count it yourself, how many policemen do we have in this country? How many soldiers do we have? Even if we say every policeman should go back to his home state, it’ll still not be enough,” he explained.

“So, if we fold arms and decide to do nothing, we’ll be the ones to suffer most.”

Of a truth, I enjoy how the northern leaders are treating their people. It's a perfect of example of "Being with the Presidency does not guarantee anything".

The president is from Katsina, same Katsina is the headquarters of Bandits.. the home of Martyrs

Smh After revoking people's gun licenses? So they should defend themselves with what? Sticks? Against bloodthirsty demons that are carrying bazookas.

Even the federal government went to beg them with 20million naira, so they can spare Buhari. That's the people that residents should defend themselves against. issoryt.

I don't think he knows who a martyr is...

Nothing wrong in self defense tho, should be encouraged since all security operatives are only interested in harassment, armed robbery and extrajudicial killings.

And what reward will I get as a matyr, abeg the suffering weh I deh suffer is enough

They voted this failure thinking he will defend them, someone who couldn't defend his cows

Like seriously? Has it gotten to this even in the president's home state?

Was it femi adesina or who said insecurity can be wiped out in the next 17 months?

He should provide gun for his statemen though so that they can properly defend themselves or better still transfer all the security details attached to him to be with the people at all times.

What set of politicians are we presently breeding?

Send your kids.. Mad man!

Guess if Nnamdi Kanu should make a similar statements,you would've seen many deformed and deranged beings dropping saliva yapping rubbish all over the thread buh a whole governor would adviced his people to defend and die as a martyr while his kids are flexing abroad hence he wouldn't invite his kids to join the martyrdom.

And that's the main reason they wouldn't want Nigeria to break up because once it happens,they(their elites and politicians)will see hell from them(the masses)

While someone else will be enjoying air-conditioned building, living large and taking air travel all in the name of service to the people. Africa a funny continent.

Hypocrisy is a terrible disease
If a southerner was president would he say this. Would he be making excuses for the president
Definitely not

I don't want to be a Martyr. Let the Governor be the Martyr, after all he has been vested with all the available resources to tackle the bandits.

He should send his children to be martyred. Nonsense

Very stupid reasoning

Are you sure?

Unfortunately, children of top politicians and government officials don’t want to be martyrs for Nigeria.

masari.. what about you and your children?

so him own family de allegic to bein a Martyr abi??
assuming him pikin lead dt group, we for take am serious

Lol

Martyr indeed. But you are running away and has refused to fight them.

Oh I forgot, you are not interested in becoming a Martyr. fooool

Oga governor, give your sons and daughters guns to fight bandits too. Anuofia

Nah I would pass

Oshey "stephen" the matyr......masari you sef no wan be matyr ni?

Idiots leaders.

Trying to shift the responsibilities of security agencies to the ordinary man. What have they been doing with all the funds appropriated for security?

Him and his family should fight the bandits and we will gladly proclaim them martyrs

Hehehehe

Does the governor not want to be a martyr too?

He should also bring his children to be martyrs.
