This is according to the Katsina state governor, Aminu Massari who explained that the government achieved this in collaboration with the Miyetti Allah Cattle Breeders Association, the Nigerian Police; the Nigerian Army, the Nigerian Air Force, the Department of State Services and other security agencies in the state.
He made the remark shortly after he received a batch of seventy seven rescued persons escorted to the Katsina Government House by the heavily armed security operatives.
Governor Massari noted that out of the 104 people rescued, 16 came from Sabuwa, Faskari and Dandume areas, 10 were from Danmusa, and the remaining 77 people came from Batsari and Jibia.
He stated that their rescue was in continuation of an exercise which started with the recovery of the recently abducted 344 students of the Government Science Secondary School in Ƙankara.
Also speaking, the Commissioner of Police in Katsina, Sanusi Buba, told newsmen that one of the procedures involved in the rescue operation was that the bandits themselves testified that they wanted peace in their domain and made several appeals.
