The chairman said that he was really touched and traumatized by the incidents at Yadagungume and Limi as well as barely 24 hours, another killing thereby making a section of the LGA to be in confusion not knowing what the people of the area are going through.
He strongly condemned the action and banditry in the area just as he sympathize with the victims and their families praying Allah to intervene in the situation.
He added that as soon as he got the report, he informed the necessary authorities and security personnel were immediately drafted to the affected villages to ensure that security measures were taken to protect the people.
Mamuda HassanTabla then commended the State Governor, Sen Bala Abdulkadir Muhammad on the efforts of his administration in protect lives and properties of innocent citizens of the state appealing to the government to beef up security in the area considering his determination to make the state crime free always.
