Musawa Local Government Area of Katsina State has engaged the services of 75 Islamic scholars to seek divine intervention towards ending terrorism and related ills in the area and state as a whole.
The Executive Chairman of the area, Dr Habib Abdulkadir, made this known in an interview with newsmen.
The council area is amongst several others faced with recurring security challenges brought about by activities of bandits, terrorists, kidnappers, and rustlers.
Hundreds of people have lost their lives, while thousands have been abducted for ransom in the security-prone councils.
In addition to Musawa, other councils facing the challenge include Matazau, Jibia, Safana, Batsari, Batagrawa, Faskari, Kankara, Malumfashi, Funtua, Bakori, among others.
