Former Governor of Sokoto State and Senator representing Sokoto South Senatorial District, Senator Aminu Waziri Tambuwal, has expressed concern over the resurgence of bandit attacks in parts of Sokoto State, urging security agencies to intensify operations and adopt stronger intelligence-driven measures to protect vulnerable communities. “I sympathise with the people of Shagari Local Government Area over the recent attacks that have left several residents kidnapped while rustlers made away with livestock. Tambuwal also appealed to security agencies to intensify efforts to rescue victims still in captivity, while calling on residents, traditional rulers and community leaders to support security agencies with credible information that could aid ongoing operations. He maintained that overcoming the security challenges confronting Sokoto requires close collaboration between government, security agencies, traditional institutions and local communities. He also prayed for lasting peace and stability to return to Kebbe, Shagari, Sabon Birni and other communities affected by banditry in Sokoto State.
