He warned that his government would not tolerate anyone taking the law into their hands by harassing or intimidating anybody on account of their ethnic, religious or regional background.
"Katsina is a home of peace where everybody has the right to go about their legitimate endeavours freely without fear of intimidation or harassment from any quarters" he said.
"I am calling on all non indigenes resident in the state, especially the Igbos, to have nothing to fear. This government is ever so ready, willing, capable and prepared to protect the lives and property of every citizen living in the state regardless of their ethnic, religious or regional background", he added.
