Shocked by the level of carnage by the bandits, Tambuwal had mobilized security operatives in rapid response joint reconnaissance operations across the state and especially around areas invaded by the marauding bandits
Sokoto State is famed for the sultanate. Its arid desert plains provide an asphyxiating allure for a first-time visitor to the state. Deep in the dry Sahel region and surrounded by sandy savannah and isolated hills marks it out for lovers of monarchical history and architecture, royal dance and splendour.
Addressing a state Executive Council meeting in May, Governor Tambuwal had vowed that things would be done differently concerning security. He announced that a new security mechanism will be introduced in the state. Under the plan, all hands, resources and institutions, he said, would be mobilized to ensure that rising incidents of insecurity are nipped in the bud.
This certainly will not be the first time Tambuwal would draw attention to the need for a total overhaul of the security architecture for the country. Addressing the National Executive Council meeting of the Nigerian Union of Journalists in Sokoto in 2018, he had called for the creation of state police to complement what the police was doing.
“Providing security lies squarely on government, particularly the federal government. We must call a spade by its name. The president has to do the needful, we have qualified people who can bring fresh ideas to the nation’s security situation”.
