The Kaduna State Governor, Mallam Nasir El-Rufai, has renewed his appeal to the Federal Government to create a North-West Theatre Command to tackle insecurity in the zone.
Justifying the presentation of the security reports, El Rufai noted that “we publish these reports in fulfilment of our obligation to the residents of this state.”
“Citizens have legitimate expectations to be provided with consistently accurate accounts of what is going on and to be updated on the measures being taken to address the security challenge,” he added. The governor who lamented that the security report still showed that killings, kidnappings, injuries and threats to the livelihoods had continued, even as he prayed for the repose of the souls of those killed while paying tribute to the victims of various crimes across the state.
El Rufai however stated that “figures show a pattern of reductions in the gravity of security incidents in the second and third quarters of 2022, compared to the first quarter.” According to him, “this is a consequence of the intensification of offensive security operations against the bandits in recent months.”All rights reserved.
