Kano State Governor, Abba Kabir Yusuf, has directed all 44 local government councils to hold regular security meetings to improve intelligence gathering and strengthen community vigilance across the state.
The directive followed a State Security Council meeting at the Government House, Kano, after a recent bandit attack in Faruruwa, Shanono Local Government Area. In a statement issued by his spokesperson, Sanusi Bature Dawakin Tofa, the governor emphasized the need for frequent local meetings to ensure early detection of threats and better coordination between communities and security agencies.
The move comes after armed men on over 25 motorcycles attacked Faruruwa village, killing one person, looting shops, and stealing livestock. The incident has heightened fears among residents, prompting renewed calls for stronger government intervention in border communities.
The Security Council meeting was attended by heads of major security formations, including the Army, Police, NSCDC, NDLEA, and Immigration. Governor Yusuf identified Shanono, Tsanyawa, Tudun Wada, Doguwa, and Gwarzo as high-risk areas requiring urgent attention, while assuring residents of sustained efforts to protect lives and property across the state.
