“Your Majesty @dikko_radda,
For the sake of non -fear speakers, the man interviewed accused that his wife and 4 -month -old child were kidnapped, the wife was raped & ₦ 20 million was paid with a ransom.

“Someone who is the village head has been charged by one of the suspects who was arrested & was waiting for the trial of the court. However, he would be dismissed without being charged with the court.

“The man said he had all the evidence that would prove that the village head was behind a lot of heinous crimes in Katsina and the environment and called the executive governor of the state of Katsina to intervene.

“This is heartbreaking. If the true silence or not act will betray justice and the Katsina people.

“The role of the governor is 2 protecting, not ignoring suffering. You are given direct access to 2 challenges that you face in front of 2 bedroom doors but you choose 2 to politicize it.

“Another case where the victims are suspected of knowing the criminals, but nothing happened. Why?

“Because of corruption in the security forces and justice we ensure justice has never seen the light of the day.
