INSECURITY: Gov Sani-Bello Seeks Collaborative Measure
of Stakeholders
Niger State Governor, Alhaji Abubakar Sani-Bello has called for
extra-vigilance among stakeholders as a necessary measure to stem
the tide of the growing insecurity in the country.
In a statement issued by his Chief Press Secretary, Malam Jibrin
Baba Ndace, the Governor expressed the need for collective security
and extra-vigilance from all stakeholders in order to address the
situation.
According to him, security agencies can not handle the
increasing insecurity alone, hence the need for a functional
collaboration with traditional and religious rulers as well as
community participation in addressing the challenges.
Governor Sani-Bello advised communities, especially within the
borders of Zamfara and Kaduna states where military operation is
currently ongoing to flush out the miscreants, to be vigilant,
cooperate with security agencies and report suspicious persons with
gunshots who might be lurking around their villages.
“There is high probability that some of the fleeing criminals
may find their way into neighboring state, so we must all be
vigilant and proactive in order to identify, isolate and apprehend
them”.
The Governor, however, advised all the citizens not to take laws
into their hands by carrying out ‘jungle justice’ on the criminals
stressing that any one apprehended must be handed over to security
agencies for prosecution.
