Be Set To Fight Back Jihadists, Delta Monarchs Tell Citizens

Published

on

Delta State monarchs have appealed to residents to be more vigilant and security conscious following the alleged threat by Fulani jihadists to attack Asaba and Agbor over the ban on open grazing recently adopted by Southern governors.

The appeal was conveyed as part of a four-point communiqué issued at the end of the meeting of the traditional rulers in Asaba at the weekend.

In the communiqué read by the Chairman of the Delta Traditional Rulers’ Council and Obi of Owa, Dr. Emmanuel Efeizomor, the monarchs condemned the threat in its entirety and restated their earlier support for the position of the southern governors on the now famous “Asaba Declaration”.

It read, “The monarchs urged all communities in Delta State to immediately activate their local security apparatus and be ready and prepared to ward off any form of threat to peace and security in their area.

“Royal fathers tasked security agencies in the state not to treat the purported threat with levity but extend their dragnets to all nooks and crannies of the state with a view to nipping unwholesome activities of criminal elements in the bud,” the Delta monarchs said.

While decrying the heightened insecurity across the country, the monarchs called on the federal authorities to take the issue of security seriously in order to stop the nation from drifting to anarchy.

GreenWhiteGreen GWG reports that the development follows the recent report of a warning from a jihadist group to attack Asaba and Agbor over the state’s support for the ban on open grazing.
