Katsina State Governor Rt. Hon Aminu Bello Masari commiserate with the people of Dungun Muazu village in Sabuwa Local Government area over the loss of eight members of the community who died following an attack by alleged cattle rustlers on Wednesday last week, he declared that there was no reason why some criminals would hold the society to ransome when "the government has the resources, the personnel, the military might and the willpower to deal with the situation for good".
Governor Masari stated this at Dungun Muazu village in Sabuwa Local Government area of the state . Masari cautioned against blanket judgement on the activities of some criminals, saying it is wrong to regard all Fulani herdsmen as criminals.
He said that since no ethnic group had the monopoly of virtue or vice, it is therefore wrong on the account of the misdeeds of a few bad elements to generalise the entire members of the group as criminals.
"We must not in our haste to bring the guilty to book punish the innocent.That would amount to great injustice".
He charged security agencies and traditional rulers to be just and fair in their dealings with the people, stating that justice and fairness are the two most necessary ingredients for peace
According to Governor Masari, the Green Alternative policy may only succeed when farmers and herdsmen live peacefully with one another.
