BREAKING: Dr. Bashir Usman Ruwan Godiya, a lecturer at Hassan Usman Katsina Polytechnic, has accused the Katsina State Government of operating a “double-faced” approach in its handling of banditry and peace negotiations.
Speaking during a Channels Television discussion on dialogue with armed groups, Dr. Ruwan Godiya challenged the state government’s repeated denial of involvement in negotiations, pointing out that several local government chairmen are reportedly participating actively in such talks.
He described the situation as confusing and contradictory, arguing that whether the state government publicly acknowledges it or not, it remains implicated in the peace process.
The academic also criticized what he described as a lack of public discourse on the human and material losses suffered by communities affected by bandit attacks, noting that the focus appears to have shifted away from victims.
His comments add to the growing debate over transparency, accountability and the true extent of government involvement in negotiations with armed groups in Katsina State.
