(NAN)Mr Abdullahi Gana, Commandant General (CG), Nigeria Security and Civil Defence Corps (NSCDC), has ordered massive deployment of personnel to areas of banditry and cattle rustling in Katsina State.
Gana gave the directive to the Katsina State Commandant, Mr Ahamad Alhassan, in a statement made available to the News Agency of Nigeria (NAN) on Wednesday in Abuja.
The statement disclosed that the CG had earlier summoned Alhassan to Abuja, to brief him on the security situation in the state.
