INSECURITY: Northern Governors and Traditional Rulers Convene Emergency Security Meeting in Kaduna

Governor Uba Sani is currently hosting an urgent joint meeting of the Northern States Governors’ Forum and Northern Traditional Leaders Council at Sir Kashim Ibrahim House, Kaduna, amid escalating security concerns across the region.

Chaired by the Forum’s Chairman and Gombe State Governor, Muhammad Inuwa Yahaya, and led on the traditional side by the Sultan of Sokoto, His Eminence Muhammadu Sa’ad Abubakar III, the closed-door session is focused almost entirely on the deteriorating security situation in Northern Nigeria.

The leaders are deliberating on the surge in banditry, terrorism, kidnapping, and farmer-herder clashes that have claimed hundreds of lives and displaced thousands in recent months.
