Sokoto: Tambuwal Decries Renewed Bandit Attacks, Seeks Urgent Security Intervention
Onuminya Innocent in Sokoto
A former Governor of Sokoto State and Senator representing Sokoto South, Senator Aminu Waziri Tambuwal, has expressed grief over renewed attacks by bandits and terrorists in parts of Sokoto State, saying the resurgence has left many dead, others kidnapped and entire communities displaced.
In a statement, yesterday, by his media office, Tambuwal said the renewed violence has worsened the humanitarian and security situation in rural communities, with residents now living under constant fear of abduction, killings and cattle rustling.
The senator particularly condoled with the people of Kebbe Local Government Area and the family of Assistant Superintendent of Police, ASP Hussaini Balarabe, who was reportedly killed during a fierce gun battle with armed bandits.
