The Sultan of Sokoto, Alhaji Sa’ad Abubakar has criticized Shege Ka Fasa, the new security outfit established by the North.

Shege Ka Fasa was established by the Coalition of Northern Groups to help battled the insecurity plaguing their region.

The move by the group has now been described by the Sultan has a way to 'score cheap political points.’

The Sultan made this known while speaking at a Northern security meeting held in Kaduna on Thursday.

"I saw the security outfit on the media. Now, the elders allowed these youths to go forward.

”The elites are our problems, the youth will do whatever they like If the elders don’ t take the lead and think they are right. They have to caution these youths by giving them good leadership.“

“The youths launched their own security outfit they call it Shege Ka Fasa’, meaning what?

“I’m calling on northern elders to caution them. Don’t allow these youths to take over leadership from you. You have to reach out to everybody no matter how low the person is", he said.
