Bauchi State Governor, Bala Mohammed, has said that his administration has decided to establish a security outfit which is modelled after Amotekun in the southwestern part of the country to tackle insecurity in the state.
Mohammed assured traditional rulers, religious and community leaders in the State that they will continue to play their God-given roles as the ‘first line of defence’ as his administration strives to checkmate the marauders including those involved in illegal logging, sale of charcoal and destruction of traditional forests warning that “these heinous activities must stop.”
Bauchi state, he however, said, has been relatively safe and secure, even in the face of ‘the Nigerian security pandemic’, pointing out that the State will not gloat over it because everywhere in Nigeria is supposed to be safe. The governor said that in recognition of Bauchi’s vast land boundaries with seven states, his government also intends to promote the establishment of a highly successful ‘inter-state’ security model that he initiated when he was Minister of the Federal capital territory.
