Katsina State Governor Aminu Masari has ordered the immediate closure of all boarding secondary schools in the state.
The order follows the disappearance of many students at the Government Science Secondary School in Kankara, after an attack by bandits on Friday night.
He spoke on Saturday when he visited the school along with his deputy, Mannir Yakubu, other government officials, some parents, traditional and religious leaders as well as security officials.
Masari said that both the Federal and state governments were doing their best to bring an end to banditry and other debilitating criminal activities in the state.
“The government is very firm in its resolve to be ruthless in any engagement with the bandits,” he said
