Abdul’aziz Yari, Zamfara state governor,
says he cannot direct security officers on what to do or sanction them, despite
being the governor and chief security officer (CSO) of the state.
Speaking to reporters on Friday,
Yari lamented the recurring killings in the state.
He condemned the prevailing
situation where as the chief security officer, he could not take decisions on
strategies for protecting the state and its people.
Yari urged people of the state to
be more faithful to God and embark on special prayers over the security
challenge.
“We have been facing serious
security challenges over the years but in spite of being governor and chief
security officer of the state, I cannot direct security officers on what to do
nor sanction them when they err,” he said.
“As chief security officer, the
nomenclature in just a name.”
The governor lamented that it was
disheartening that killings in the state had continued in spite of Buhari’s order to security agencies to end
the incessant blood-letting.
He said the state government was
spending huge amount of its resources on security but to no avail.
He also appealed to them to be
patient and continue to cooperate with the government and security agencies as
steps were being taken to address the challenges.
“We cannot keep quiet while our
people are being killed daily. We are going to cooperate with all stakeholders
to bring the situation to an end,” he said.
