BudgIT Condemns Attack on Katsina Officer Mustapha Sadiq

BudgIT has strongly condemned the brutal attack on its Katsina State officer, Mustapha Sadiq, who was assaulted at his home on April 4, 2026. According to a statement from Vahyala Kwaga, the Country Director of BudgIT, five men armed with machetes broke into Sadiq's residence and inflicted severe injuries to his head and upper body.

The attack, which appeared to be an unsuccessful attempt to steal a vehicle, has left Sadiq in serious condition requiring urgent medical attention. The nature of the incident has raised significant concerns regarding safety and security within the community, as no individual should be subjected to violence under any circumstances.

BudgIT is treating the matter with utmost seriousness and has lodged a formal complaint with the Nigerian police. They will engage relevant security agencies to ensure the perpetrators are identified and brought to justice.

BudgIT expects a prompt, thorough, and transparent investigation into the incident and calls for appropriate government action to improve citizen safety and security.
