The problem is in the eastern part of Isa. There are places that are still under the control of bandits. They appoint and depose village heads there.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWe are appealing for a military camp in Kagara to take care of those areas. We used to have a camp there before it was relocated. Then there was a relative peace in those places. So we want the camp back,\u201d he appealed.<\/p><\/div>\n<div dir=\"auto\">\nThe chairman however admitted that since the death of Halilu Sububu, the bandits\u2019 kingpin killed about a month ago, there had been a significant reduction in attacks on their communities.<\/p>\n<p>According to him, they can now ply some roads which were formerly deserted.<br \/>\nIn his remarks, the minister said President Bola Tinubu was seriously concerned about insecurity in the North, a reason he appointed northerners Ministers of Defence and heads of security operatives.<\/p><\/div>\n<div dir=\"auto\">\n\u201cThe President also directed me to ensure militarisation of all the danger areas in the state. So we are going to creat a military base at Gundumi which will be patrolling Gundumi-Marnona road which remained closed for years,\u201d he added.<\/div>\n<div dir=\"auto\">\nMatawalle further assured residents of Isa of deployment of more security operatives to the area.<\/div>\n<div dir=\"auto\">\n\u201cSo we need your support because the issue of security is everyone\u2019s business. We need to know about the bandits movement,\u201d he said.<\/div>\n<!-- AddThis Advanced Settings generic via filter on the_content --><!-- AddThis Share Buttons generic via filter on the_content --><!-- AddThis Related Posts generic via filter on the_content -->","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The Chairman of Isa Local Government Area of Sokoto State, Alhaji Sharifu Kamarawa, has told Minister of State for Defence, Alhaji Bello Matawalle, that some communities in the council are&hellip;<!-- AddThis Advanced Settings generic via filter on wp_trim_excerpt --><!-- AddThis Share Buttons generic via filter on wp_trim_excerpt --><!-- AddThis Related Posts generic via filter on wp_trim_excerpt --><\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":90626,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_lmt_disableupdate":"","_lmt_disable":"","footnotes":""},"categories":[4],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-114616","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-other-news"],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v26.8 -
