He added that the President has done all it takes to ensure security in the region.
Speaking further, Masari said the perpetrators live amongst the people, know everything about them.
"We know them and their parents, to identify bandits in rural communities is not a difficult task, because you know his business, his farmland capacity, his livestock.
"And if one day he buys a new motorcycle amounting to over N200,000 naira, then you must know that he is selling people’s lives," Masari said.
Katsina State has lately been an hotspot for banditry attacks just like the other North-West States.
