he Katsina State Government and the state police command have rewarded three youths of the state, for their courage to disarm and kill one of the bandits who initially kidnapped them.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The youths which comprised of two boys and a girl, were also rewarded for returning the AK 47 rifle and a matchet they recovered from the bandits<\/a> to the police.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The monetary reward was issued by the Katsina Commissioner of Police, Sanusi Buba, on behalf of the state government and the command.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The presentation which took place on Tuesday evening inside the police commissioner\u2019s office, did not allow fanfare, as their names and villages were also not disclosed, because of the safety of the youngsters.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

He said, \u201cThe two bandits who were armed with AK 47 rifle and a matchet initially kidnapped the two young boys and the girl on the farmland. The trio now summed up the courage to tackle the bandits. While one engaged the one with a matched, the remaining two tackled the one with the AK 47 rifle.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cThe one who handled the bandit with the matchet later subdued him and he joined the other two to tackle the other bandit with the rifle\u201d.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
