Katsina State had in recent months been grappling with security challenges posed by kidnappers, bandits and rustlers.
The Shekau’s faction of Boko Haram, Jama’atu Ahlussunnah Lidda’awati Wal Jihad, in June released a new video and confirmed its link with the armed groups operating in the North-West.
