Tension in Sokoto as Tambuwal knows fate tomorrow

The Supreme Court will tomorrow (Monday) deliver judgement in the Appeal filed against the Sokoto State Governor, Waziri Tambuwal by the candidate of the All Progressives Congress,  (APC), Alhaji Ahmed Aliyu Sokoto, in the 2019 governorship election in the state.

The Sokoto State Police Command however disclosed that about 1,000 conventional and plain-clothes officers and men have been deployed across the State.

The State Commissioner of Police, Ibrahim Kaoje, who disclosed this in Sokoto, Sunday, said the measure was to ensure that peace reigns before and after the hearing.

The CP added that particular attention was being focused on the Sokoto metropolis and its environs as well as some strategic locations within their vicinity.

Kaoje said, ”We are on a 24-hour red alert and we are on standby, round the clock. We will not waiver in our sustained routine and surprise tactics to keep the peace.

”We will leave no stone unturned in keeping the State safe and secure, and for all the law-abiding residents to conduct their lawful businesses.”

“The strategy would be maintained until further notice and in line with the recent directive issued by the Inspector General of Police on a 24-hour, nationwide red alert.

”The massive deployment of our officers and men has paid off and we will not relent in our efforts.”
