The Northern States Governors’ Forum and Northern Traditional Leaders Council are currently in an emergency meeting at Sir Kashim Ibrahim House, Kaduna, amid rising security concerns across the area.

The leaders are deliberating on the spike in banditry, terrorism, kidnapping, and farmer-herder confrontations that have claimed hundreds of lives and displaced thousands in recent months.

The closed-door conference, headed by the Forum’s Chairman and Gombe State Governor, Muhammad Inuwa Yahaya, and Sultan of Sokoto, Muhammadu Sa’ad Abubakar III, on the traditional side is focused almost entirely on the deteriorating security situation in Northern Nigeria.

According to ZINGTIE, insecurity has increased over the past few weeks in the country’s northern region.

Recall that at least 24 schoolgirls were abducted by bandits in Kebbi State. However, they apparently recovered their freedom a few days following their abduction.

In a similar vein, at least 200 students were abducted by bandits from a Catholic private school in Niger State; 50 of them are said to have managed to escape and are now back with their families.
