“They have abducted a lot of people and there has been some loss of life and property and of course our security agencies have been doing very well.
“These local governments are Toro, Dass, Alkaleri, Ningi Local Government and to some extent Tafawa Balewa and Ganjuwa Local Governments.
“This is a very worrisome development because a majority of our people live in the rural areas. And of course, if there’s insecurity there, then we are going to have problems.”
