Bauchi State Governor Bala Mohammed says some traditional rulers aid and abet criminality in the state.
The governor said this during the State Executive Council meeting in Bauchi, on Tuesday.
He said some bad eggs in the security circle also collude with criminals to unleash mayhem on communities in the state, adding that his administration is having sleepless nights over renewed criminal activity in the state.
Mohammed , therefore, charged the newly appointed state commissioners and special advisers to be on the alert and security-conscious in their various local governments.
“We have to work very hard because everything in this world is about life and property. If you are dead, then there is nothing in it. The fact that we are being mentioned as the most peaceful state in northern Nigeria is giving us more challenge,” he said.
