Bello Matawalle, Governor of Zamfara State, has appealed to the President, Major General Muhammadu Buhari(retd.) to declare a State of Emergency on security.
The governor gave the advice when he received the Assistant Inspector-General of Police in charge of Sokoto, Kebbi and Zamfara, Ali Janga, on a courtesy call on Wednesday in Gusau.
Matawalle said declaring a state of emergency was the “only available avenue of ending the increasing security challenges at hand.”
