Telecommunication services have been shut down in Nigeria’s northwestern Katsina State.
At least 13 Local Government Areas are affected by the development which may not be unconnected with the ongoing security operations against bandits.
The affected LGAs are Sabuwa, Faskari, Dandume, Batsari, Danmusa, Kankara, Jibia, Safana, Dutsin-Ma and Kurfi that are on the fringes of the Ruggu forest where most of the bandits are hiding.
The other three include Funtua, Bakori and Malumfashi.
