Onuminya Innocent in Sokoto
The Sokoto State Government has graduated 1,550 operatives of the Sokoto State Marshals Agency (SOSMA) in what officials described as a decisive step to reinforce community-based security across the state.
The ceremony, held at the state capital, was historic for the agency as it produced its first set of female operatives. A total of 70 women were among the graduates, signalling a new direction for grassroots policing in Sokoto.
The Ekiti State Governor, Mr. Biodun Oyebanji, graced the occasion as Special Guest of Honour. He was joined by Senator Aliyu Magatakarda Wamakko, APC leader in the state, Speaker of the Sokoto State House of Assembly, Rt. Hon. Tukur Bala Bodinga, and a host of federal and state legislators from Sokoto and Ekiti.
