The governor, however, called on the Federal Government to give states air and ground forces to fight against banditry, kidnapping, and other criminal menaces.

He said: “If the Federal Government does not give us the air and ground forces, these forests are invaded and these terrorists are killed at the same time, then we will continue to be in trouble.

“We in Kaduna are cooperating with Niger State. The governor of the state calls from time to time to gather information. We are doing things with them.”
