Alhaji Aminu Boza, a lawmaker representing Sabon Birni North at the Sokoto State House of Assembly has lauded the Federal Government for its quick response to the banditry attack in his constituency. Boza said this in an interview in Sokoto on Thursday. He also commended the state government’s response to the attack, describing it as encouraging. “Today as I speak with you, we have noticed a lot of commitment by security agencies in addressing the security challenges bedeviling the eastern zone of Sokoto. “We experienced heinous activities by bandits that crippled our social and economic lives and has led to the loss of hundreds of lives and property worth billions of naira. “However, the bloodiest attack happened on May 27, where more than 70 people were killed during bandits’ attacks across the eight Local Government Areas (LGAs) of the zone. “Presently, I am at ease seeing the security formation in the area as directed by President Muhammadu Buhari,” he said. The lawmaker appreciated Gov. Aminu Tambuwal for his dedication toward uplifting the living condition of the people in the affected areas. He urged the people to pray about the ugly situation and continue to remain vigilant and report suspicious movements to relevant security agencies.
