Three local government in Katsina, Malumfashi, Funtua, and Bakori, have joined the growing list of council areas that entered into a peace deal with bandits in the state.
This is according to Daily Trust which reported that the new entrants into such accord jointly held meetings with armed bandit representatives and community delegates from the three LGAs at Kakumi community in Bakori Local Government Area.
It said the discussion was productive as several bandit leaders pledged to suspend hostilities and halt all forms of attacks within the participating areas beginning Sunday, October 12.
Recall that several other local government areas — including Batsari, Kankara, Kurfi, Musawa, Danmusa, Jibia, Faskari, Sabuwa, and Dandume in the past entered similar peace deals with bandits.
