Sokoto Governor declares war on bandits’ informants
Governor Ahmed Aliyu of Sokoto State has declared a clampdown on individuals providing information to bandits, insisting they will henceforth be treated as criminals.
Aliyu issued the directive during a condolence visit to Wurno and Rabah Local Government Areas, where communities were recently attacked. He condemned informants as “unpatriotic citizens selling out their communities for peanuts.”
He called on rural residents to expose anyone suspected of aiding bandits and urged Islamic clerics to use sermons and prayers to educate worshippers on the dangers of collusion with criminals.
The governor also outlined measures taken to reinforce security in the state, including the deployment of more than 170 patrol vehicles and motorcycles, increased allowances for personnel posted to volatile areas, and the establishment of the State Community Guard Corps.
