Muhammad Abubakar, Sultan of Sokoto, yesterday, declared that it will take decades for the north-west to be free from the menacing security challenge.
The Sultan spoke in Katsina at the ‘Inaugural North West Peace and Security Summit’.
In his address, the Sultan said: “What we must do is challenge these bandits because we all know the consequences of banditry and insurgency on our lives.
“But it will take decades to get out of it if at all we get out of it. We all know the consequences and the problems.”
The monarch added that traditional leaders in the area were willing to work with law enforcement and northern governors to fight insurgency and banditry.
