Bauchi State Governor, Bala Mohammed of Bauchi State on Tuesday revealed that criminals are allegedly conniving with some traditional rulers to unleash mayhem in Bauchi communities.
The governor, who did not mention the traditional rulers, spoke during the State Executive Council meeting in Bauchi.
Specifically, he said some bad eggs in the security circuit also collude with criminals to unleash mayhem on communities in the state.
According to Mohammed, his administration is having sleepless nights over renewed criminal activity in the state.
This is even as he charged the newly appointed state commissioners and special advisers to be on the alert and security-conscious in their various local governments.
“Security, we are having sleepless nights. There is no time I am not talking about security,” the governor told his political appointees. “You are my representatives in your own right; we will have to change our style.
“These people are coming, and they are conniving with our traditional institutions and even bad eggs within the security agencies.
“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.”
