involvement of the region’s leaders for solution.

courtesy call in his office.

described the prevailing insecurity in the region as a menace that required a
combined effort to solve with active involvement of traditional rulers.
The Kaduna governor
also called on journalists to continue to be objective and ethical in their
reportage of events in the region, as well as shun reports that fan the
embers of hate in the country.
Ahmad who led the delegation had in an address lamented over
incessant cases of kidnappings, cattle rustling, banditry among others in
Zamfara and the entire northern region.
He said there
was need to re-strategise security agencies’ efforts toward fighting the
menace.
The Emir

of the state to curtail the menace.
He said their
convergence on Kaduna was for a conference aimed at finding lasting solution to
the security threat bedeviling the entire region and pleaded for support
from northern governors.
