Gov. Abubakar Sani Charges Security Agencies With Determining Any Attempt To Instigate Trouble In The State

 

The Niger State Governor and Chairman of the North Central Governors Forum NCGF, Abubakar Sani Bello, has called for calm in the aftermath of the murder of Deborah Samuel, a student of Shehu Shagari College of Education, Sokoto, on the charge of blasphemy.

The Governor stated in a statement that peaceful coexistence in a plural society like ours is not only necessary but also the first condition for growth and development.
He stated, “Peace is in everyone’s best interests.” We can’t sleep without peace, and we can’t work without peace. Everything is built on the foundation of peace. Without it, our dreams will perish.”
The Governor urged everyone to be accepting and tolerant of our religious and cultural differences in order to make our society a desirable destination for many people from all over the world.
He urged traditional, community, religious, and opinion leaders to avoid making inflammatory statements and to encourage their constituents to remain law-abiding.
Governor Sani Bello observed that vile and unfounded rumours and exaggerations have frequently provided fertile ground for conflict and urged everyone to dispel them.
He urged the public to be proactive in reporting issues that could lead to a breach of the peace to authorities for immediate action.
While expressing condolences to the deceased’s family, the Governor has directed the state’s police and other security agencies to deal decisively with any individual or group that attempts to exploit the current situation to foment trouble.
