The governor urged communities to immediately alert security agents situated in their areas when they have any fore knowledge that they are being targeted for an attack. That if communities will endeavour to do this, help will come faster.


He however warned that this does not give license for anyone to cross over from his village in the name of giving help to others.


The Shattiman Sokoto who was given an rousing welcome in all the areas visited during which some people shed tears in appreciation of his efforts in handling the issue of insecurity thanked the people of the state for their prayers for his government to succeed saying that it is the prayers that had helped in the attainment of peace.
