Gov. Tambuwal cries out as residents flee Sokoto - Daily Post Nigeria

Tambuwal made the plea in Sokoto when he addressed newsmen at the end of an expanded security meeting, following Tuesday’s attack, which led to the killing of 82-year old District Head of Balle, Alh. Ibrahim Aliyu.

The Governor said the security meeting was convened to proffer solutions to the unfortunate situation and urged residents to assist security agencies with useful information.“I will personally travel to the place and plead with those who relocated to come back home,’’ Tambuwal said. NAN recalls that suspected armed bandits had on May 7 attacked Balle town, headquarters of Gudu Local Government Area of Sokoto State, a hitherto peaceful community.
