KADUNA: Zaria under siege, Emir raises alarm

THE Emir of Zazzau, Ambassador Ahmae Nuhu Bamalli, today, said the emirate is under siege, stressing that residents are having sleepless nights due to abductions going on within Zaria and its environs.

Speaking during a visit by a delegation of Security Heads led by the State Commissioner for Internal Security and Home Affairs, Samuel Aruwan, the emir expressed displeasure at the ugly development, saying although there were security formations and military training schools within the emirate, his people are not feeling safe.

On his part, Aruwan said the delegation was at the emir’s palace to build confidence and to commiserate with the emirate over the unfortunate incident at the Nuhu Bamalli Polytechnic and neighbouring communities.

He assured that the state government was doing everything possible to protect the emirate and state in general.
