In Katsina, the forest cuts across the seven local governments of Jibia, Safana, Batsari, Danmusa, Sabuwa, Dandume, Faskari. In each of the place it passes, it is called by a different name but generally, it is called Rugu, after a community in Safana LGA.
An elderly man who knows the terrain very well told our reporter that the forest has been partitioned by bandits who control different segments.
“The forest has six ranges, four of which are in our domain. The forest boasts of several water outlets and streams. There are 18 dams that were established since the late Sardauna’s time,” he said.

THE president is in Katsina state, he is not on leave, yet the Federal Government sent a delegation from Abuja on Sunday to ‘commiserate’ with the Katsina State government. I do not know if you also find that very awkward. Is that how it is done? What is happening? I know there are persons in Nigeria who fear President Muhammadu Buhari more than they fear God. I could feel them frantically fighting the winds over reports of Friday’s abduction of schoolboys in Katsina. Their problem is not the abduction; it is the news of the abduction. They would exchange glances and ask in muffled tones: Why did it have to happen when the president is visiting Katsina? If they could snuff life out of the attack story they would have buried it in the pockets of their flowing babanriga – and in their long caps. That is their definition of humanity – and truth; they are conditioned by how much they impact the image of the president.
