The Police Command in Katsina

“A group of bandits numbering 200

“The DPO Safana immediately led
teams of Operations Puff Adder to the scene and engaged the hoodlums in a gun
duel that lasted for about four hours.
“The police succeeded in
dislodging the hoodlums and chased them out of the villages,” Isah said.
He further said that the police
were able to recover 200 cows, 300 sheep and goats that were rustled by the
