Sokoto State Governor Ahmed Aliyu has expressed confidence that displaced residents will soon be able to return safely to their communities as security operations in the state gain momentum. During the opening of a State Executive Council meeting at the Government House in Sokoto on Thursday, the governor highlighted that renewed efforts to combat banditry and related crimes are already yielding positive results, particularly in 13 local government areas affected by insecurity. “I am happy to inform you that our renewed commitment to ensuring a secure Sokoto State is yielding success,” Governor Aliyu stated.
The governor emphasized that addressing insecurity remains a top priority for his administration and assured that efforts would continue until displaced residents can return to their homes. He reaffirmed his administration’s support for security agencies, pledging ongoing logistical and operational backing to enhance their capacity to protect lives and property. Additionally, he urged residents to support security efforts by providing credible information to help track criminal elements. He warned against the activities of informants within communities, labeling them as threats to peace and security.
Governor Aliyu further assured residents of his administration’s commitment to governance and development, calling for continued public support to sustain the progress being made in restoring stability to the state. This renewed security initiative comes in response to longstanding challenges posed by banditry and communal clashes in parts of Sokoto, which have displaced thousands and disrupted livelihoods. Authorities state that ongoing operations aim to create a safe environment for the return of affected populations and the resumption of normal life across the state.
