Following unending banditry attacks in Sokoto East Senatorial Districts and Isa local government area, in particular, locals have taken what seems like a glaring display of dissatisfaction on supposed illustrious sons and leaders of their areas by attacking their properties on Tuesday, Police confirmed.
Though, reasons for the mob action which led to the setting ablaze of the residence of the former local government chairman, Col Garba Moyi (rtd) and now commissioner for Carrers and Security Matters to governor Aminu Waziri Tambuwal.
The angry mobs were also said to have shattered glasses of vehicles belonging to Isa local government district, Alhaji Nasiru Ahamad.
Confirming the incident in a telephone call, Sokoto State Police Command spokesperson, ASP Sanusi Abubakar, said, their officers have arrested some of the mobs and are currently conducting an investigation into the ugly development.
Though, the Police Spokesperson could not establish whether the action of the mobs was an indirect indictment on those whose properties were touched. a deeper reflection of the incident however indicates that either the locals are acting on the conviction of some rumors or they are being led by the bandit's apologist to divert attention, hence some local governments in the State have started banding together to form a stronger united force against these bandits.
As things stand in Isa local government and Sokoto in general, all eyes are on the State Police Command, as citizens are already showing interest in knowing the black sheep in the entire mob action. NNL.
