Sultan Supports Security Operations Against Armed
Banditry
Efforts by the Inspector General of Police, Ag. IGP M.A Adamu,
NPM, mni tailored towards galvanizing broad-based support in the
fight against armed banditry and other crimes in the country
received a comprehensive boost with the Sultan of Sokoto, His
Eminence Muhammad Sa’ad Abubakar III CFR, mni pledging an unalloyed
support to the Police and other Security Agencies.
The Sultan made this pledge yesterday, 9th April, 2019 at his
Palace in Gida Sarkin Musulmi, Sokoto when the IGP, in the company
of the Executive Governor of Sokoto State, His Excellency Rt. Hon.
Aminu Waziri Tambuwal, Deputy Governor of Sokoto State, Alh. Mannir
Dan’iya and other top Police Officers and Government functionaries
paid him a courtesy visit.
While promising to use the platform of the Forum of Northern
Traditional Rulers to rally support of all the Traditional Rulers
from Northern Nigeria to fight armed banditry and other crimes in
the region, the Sultan equally aligned himself with the IGP’s
policy direction of using the tool of Community Policing and
Partnership to combat crime. The Sultan also urged Nigerians from
all walks of life to support the Police in the fight against all
manner of crime in the Country.
Thereafter, the IGP visited the Police Headquarters in the State
where he charged the Officers and Men of the Command to up the ante
in the fight against armed banditry and other crimes in the State,
promising to do everything within his power to provide them with
adequate working tools and healthy working environment.
