BREAKING: Alhaji Samaila Muhammad Mera (CON), Sarkin Kabin Argungu Emirate in Kebbi State, calls on communities to stop fleeing from bandits and instead organize to defend themselves. He urges residents to prepare lawful means of self-protection, arguing that communities must take a more active role in confronting the insecurity devastating rural areas.
His message reflects the growing frustration of many northern communities facing persistent attacks, killings and displacement. At a time when fear has gripped many rural areas, other traditional rulers and emirs across Northern Nigeria should take a cue from this example by standing visibly with their people and demonstrating leadership during these difficult times.
