Bauchi State Governor, Bala Mohammed has alleged that criminals are conniving with some traditional rulers in order to cause unrest in the state.
Governor Muhammed also alleged that said some bad eggs amongst the security agencies also connived with criminals to unleash mayhem on communities in the state.
He stated this while speaking during the State Executive Council meeting held on Tuesday in Bauchi,
According to Mohammed, his administration is having sleepless nights over renewed criminal activity in the state.
This is even as he charged the newly appointed state commissioners and special advisers to be on the alert and security-conscious in their various local governments.
“Security, we are having sleepless nights. There is no time I am not talking about security,” the governor told his political appointees. “You are my representatives in your own right; we will have to change our style.
“These people are coming, and they are conniving with our traditional institutions and even bad eggs within the security agencies.
“We have to work very hard because everything in this world is about life and property. If you are dead, then there is nothing in it. The fact that we are being mentioned as the most peaceful state in northern Nigeria is giving us more challenge.” The Governor said.
