A new security arrangement that will include mobile police men and other security operatives is to be provided for each of the schools in Katsina State.
The Police Commissioner in Kaduna State, Sanusi Buba, made the revelation on Monday at the headquarters of the state Police Command during the parade of some suspects alleged to be involved in banditry, gun running and kidnapping.
The police commissioner said some of the security operatives had already been posted to schools.
Buba said, “We have put in place necessary security arrangements for schools in Katsina State which will see our Mobile Police Force among security operatives that will henceforth man our schools.

Several schools in Katsina state, on Monday, resumed academic activities following a directive that schools in the state should reopen after a vacation occasioned by security challenges in the state.
The state government ordered the closure of all schools last December shortly after 344 students of Government Science School, Kankara were abducted by bandits.
Although the students were later released by their abductors, the government directed the indefinite closure of all schools in the state for the safety of the students.
The state government last Friday directed the schools to reopen on Monday.
Exempted from the government directive were boarding schools.
