Katsina State governor  Aminu Bello Masari has banned all commercial phone charging points in the 19 local government areas of the state.

Speaking while inaugurating security enforcement and monitoring committee on the state executive orders issued to check banditry and other related crimes and criminality, Masari stated government would deal decisively with the hoodlums terrorising the state henceforth.

He said his government has resolved to take measure on banning commercial charging points, noticing that criminal elements were using them to acquire information, especially from the informants who were the enemies in the fight against the bandits.

The affected local governments are Jibia, Batsari, Safana, Danmusa, Kankara, Sabuwa, Faskari, Dandume, Musawa, Mutazu, Dutsima, Kurfi, Danja, Kafur, Maiadu’a, Kaita, Bakori, Mallumfashi and Funtua.
