To end banditry in the Tureta Local Government Area and other adjoining villages, the Sokoto State Government has approved the construction of the Tureta-Gidan Kare road to make bandits’ dens more accessible.

Governor Ahmed Aliyu revealed this during his visit to Tureta Local Government on Monday as part of his state-wide tour of the 23 local governments of the state.

According to him, the road, when completed, will provide security agencies with easy access to the forests that serve as hideouts for bandits in the area.

“As a government, we are committed to providing all that is necessary to make our local communities safe and free from any security challenges.

“Rest assured, we will spend our last kobo to guarantee the safety of the lives and property of our people.

“We are deeply concerned by the heinous acts of banditry in our dear state, and we are taking further measures to end the menace, Insha Allah,” he vowed.

The governor called for more support and fervent prayers from the locals to achieve the set target.

Aliyu also promised to construct feeder roads, implement water projects, renovate the Jumuat Mosque, and install

250 solar-powered streetlights in the area.
The governor paid similar visits to Dange Shuni, Bodinga, and Silame Local Government Areas.

During these visits, Aliyu announced the commencement of various projects, including feeder roads, the installation of solar-powered streetlights, and waterworks, and the renovation of Jumuat Mosques and health facilities.
