Sultan of Sokoto's timely warning
Recall that Alhaji Sa’ad Abubakar, the Sultan of Sokoto, recently called on the federal government to find a lasting solution to insecurity in Nigeria.
Abubakar, who made the plea on Thursday, August 26, in Abuja, said the killings in the north are underreported.
The monarch noted that there was a time 76 persons who were killed in cold blood by criminals were buried in one day.
Meanwhile, northern elders under the aegis of Coalition of Northern Elders for Peace and Development (CNEPD), have demanded the immediate sack of the National Security Adviser, Major-General Babagana Monguno (rtd).
In a statement by its national coordinator, Zana Goni, the group asked for an in-depth review of Nigeria's entire security architecture.
The elders insisted that it was time for the president to do away with Monguno, due to the worsening insecurity in the country.
