Katsina State governor, Aminu Bello Masari, has faulted the release of suspected bandits, rapists, and other criminals by the courts.
According to him, “We are in an unusual time of serious security challenges and must therefore put heads together to address these unusual challenges.
“We have had incidents where suspected bandits, terrorists, armed robbers, and rapists were released on bail only for them to commit the same offence.
‘Such ugly incidents could have been averted if bail was not granted at all.
“The overriding objective of every legal system, he said, is to deliver justice which is the best pivot and pillar that upholds the very best of decency and the best guarantee for peace, prosperity, and good governance.
“The age-long adage that justice delayed is justice denied, has been a thing of concern to the government.
“Thus there is the need to address the speed of justice among all stakeholders in the justice sector.
