Al-Makura begs FG for help over security
Nassarrawa State Governor, Tanko Al-Makura, was at the Presidential villa, Wednesday to enlist the support of the Federal Government over a cult group which is causing terror in the state.
Al-Makura who spoke to journalists after meeting with Vice President Namadi Sambo, said the situation had so far claimed the lives of twenty policemen.
His Words: "I am here to meet with His Excellency, the Vice President to brief him about the security situation in my state. Just yesterday, we had a very bitter security problem that has caused the death of some security officers in the state.
"Two weeks ago, we discovered a certain militia group holding arms and carrying out cultist activities in the state. Since January, this thing has not abated and in the past two weeks, it took a total different dimension.
"They have been going from one place to the other including churches and taking people for that particular ethnic group to come and take portions that are meant to empower them to do what they want to do.
"This escalated and is causing serious concern for the state. We decided to hold security meeting to find a way of solving the problem. The solution was to go to the shrine and pick on the cult leader so that the problem will be solved once and for all.
