SOKOTO — Former Governor of Sokoto State and Senator representing Sokoto South Senatorial District, Aminu Waziri Tambuwal, has expressed concern over renewed attacks by armed groups in parts of Sokoto State, calling for a more coordinated response to address insecurity in the state and the wider North-West.
In a statement issued by his media office on Wednesday, Tambuwal lamented recent incidents in Kebbe, Shagari and Sabon Birni Local Government Areas, where armed attackers reportedly killed residents, abducted people, rustled livestock and displaced several families.
The former governor also mourned the death of Assistant Superintendent of Police (ASP) Hussaini Balarabe, who was reportedly killed during an exchange of gunfire with armed bandits in Kebbe Local Government Area while on duty.
Tambuwal described the officer’s death as a reminder of the sacrifices being made by security personnel in efforts to combat insecurity across the country.
