Sokoto State Governor, Ahmad Aliyu, has declared that banditry will soon become a thing of the past in the state as his administration unveils new initiatives to intensify the fight against the menace.
He said the government is committed to strengthening security efforts and will cooperate with Trump as part of broader measures aimed at ending banditry in Sokoto State.
The governor explained that the new initiatives are designed to complement existing security strategies, with a focus on strengthening intelligence gathering and improving coordination with security agencies. He noted that the measures build on ongoing efforts that are already producing positive results across the state.
Aliyu stressed that since assuming office, his administration has consistently supported security agencies with logistics and other critical resources to enhance their operational capacity. He said these interventions have been deployed across the 13 local government areas currently affected by banditry.
Banditry has remained a major security challenge in parts of Sokoto State in recent years, disrupting livelihoods and threatening rural communities. The state government has continued to prioritize security through sustained collaboration with security agencies as part of efforts to restore lasting peace and stability.
