Katsina Govt. Shuts POS And Charging Centres
The Katsina State Government has directed the immediate shutdown of Point of Sale businesses and commercial phone charging centres in Matazu and Musawa Local Government Areas. The order affects all operators within the two councils.
The decision was announced as part of efforts to address rising security concerns in the affected areas.
Authorities said the move is aimed at tightening control over activities that could be linked to criminal networks.
Residents in the two local government areas are expected to comply with the directive without delay.
Security agencies have also been tasked with enforcing the order and ensuring full compliance.
Officials say the measure is temporary and part of wider steps to restore peace and improve safety across communities facing security challenges.
