Sokoto state Governor Ahmad Aliyu Sokoto on Monday held an emergency security meeting over bandits attacks that claimed 37 lives in parts of the state.

He further assured that his government would address other challenges faced by all operatives in the state.
The Governor condoled the families of those who lost their lives in the attacks while praying to Allah to reward them with the highest place in Jannat Firdausi.
Addressing journalists shortly after the meeting, the Media aide to the Governor, Abubakar Bawa said part of the issues discussed at the meeting was how best to harmonize security architectures in the state.
