*Lawal Abbas Pledges Support, Urges Prayers and Community Cooperation
By Hussaini Yero, Funtua
The Federal Government has deployed additional security personnel to Funtua Local Government Area of Katsina State and other affected local government areas following a recent increase in bandit attacks across the region.
The deployment is part of ongoing efforts to restore peace and protect residents affected by criminal activities in the area.
Confirming the development, a prominent Funtua community leader, Alhaji Lawal Abbas, said he had taken responsibility for supporting the newly deployed security personnel in various ways to boost their morale and enable them to effectively discharge their duties.
Speaking in Funtua on Monday, Abbas said the intervention came at a critical time when residents were seeking lasting solutions to the insecurity confronting the area.
“The Federal Government has responded by sending more security personnel to Funtua and other local government areas. We must support them with everything within our capacity so that they can carry out their duties effectively,” Abbas stated.
He called on residents of Funtua LGA to continue praying for the success of the security agencies and to cooperate fully with them in the fight against banditry and other criminal activities.
“We are calling on all the people of Funtua to continue praying for our security personnel. With prayers and cooperation, we believe they will succeed in flushing out bandits and those committing crimes against the people of Funtua, Katsina State and Nigeria as a whole,” he added.
Abbas also pledged to continue mobilising resources and community support to assist the security forces until lasting peace is restored across the local government area.
Residents of Funtua have commended Abbas for his contribution to security efforts in the area.
Community members described his support for security personnel as timely and necessary, noting that collaboration among the government, security agencies, community leaders and citizens is crucial to tackling banditry.
“His commitment shows that securing Funtua is a collective responsibility. We appreciate what he is doing for the security of our people,” a resident said.
Funtua LGA, one of the major commercial hubs in Katsina State, has in recent weeks experienced an increase in bandit attacks, raising concerns among traders, farmers and families in the area.
The deployment of additional personnel is expected to strengthen patrols, surveillance and rapid response operations in Funtua and neighbouring communities that have also been targeted.
Local leaders expressed optimism that the combined efforts of the Federal Government, security agencies and the community would help restore lasting peace to Funtua and revive normal economic activities.
