The Sultan of Sokoto, Sa’ad Abubakar III, has condemned the Christmas Eve killings in 20 communities in Mangu, Bokkos, Mangu and Barkin Ladi Local Government Areas of Plateau State, noting that bandits are steps ahead of security agents.
He faulted security agencies for their failure in intelligence gathering in which they could not avert the heinous crime leading to the death of over 100 people.
Abubakar called on the government and security agencies to be more proactive and scale up its intelligence gathering techniques because the
bandits and terrorists are always a step ahead.
The Sultan who spoke at the closing of the 80th National Islamic Vacation Course in Bauchi also warned against politicising insecurity in the country, describing such action as dangerous.
