Kaduna state government vows to crush all criminal elements in the state despite losing 937 people to armed bandits last year
 At least 937 people were killed in Kaduna State last year by armed bandits while 1,962 others kidnapped during the same period.
Despite this incident, the state government is insisting that it will not negotiate of grant amnesty to the bandits.
Kaduna state governor, Mallam NASIR EL-RUFAI disclosed this at the presentation of 2020 Security report before traditional rulers, members of the civil society organisations and the media at the Government House in Kaduna.
EL-RUFAI said rather than grant amnesty, the state is determined to face any forms of criminality headlong with the support of security agencies.
The State Commissioner for Internal Security and Home Affairs, SAMUEL ARUWAN urged the people of the state to always give necessary information to security agencies in order to bring the problem to an end.
