Fani-Kayode: Police beef up Shinkafi Emir’s security
The Zamfara Police Command has beefed up security around the Emir of Shinkafi, Alhaji Muhammad Makwashi, to forestal breakdown of law and order over alleged disturbance.
The command Public Relations Officer, SP Mohammed Shehu, who made this known to the News Agency of Nigeria in Gusau on Sunday, said this was done since Friday. “The emirate wrote to the Police Command seeking protection and to avert any breakdown of law and order which is what we did as a security outfit.“We also deployed our patrol teams throughout Shinkafi so that peace and order can be maintained because the Commissioner of Police, Mr Usman Nagogo has always warned people from taking the law into their own hands.
He reiterated that what was happening in Shinkafi was not ‘house arrest’ of the emir as being speculated but protection for the emir.
