“I have relocated the headquarters of OPSH here so we can work with the local authority,” said Mr Abubakar. “We will stay here until we stabilise the situation.”
This followed a Saturday night attack on the Sabon Gari community of Mangu LGA, where 12 persons were killed and six houses completely razed down.
According to the commander, the move would enable him to work in synergy with the local authority to mitigate the situation.
“The governor is disturbed by the happenings, and that is why I am personally here to lead my troops.
“We won’t allow the situation to deteriorate further. We are not here to joke, so we will be decisive, fair and firm,” Mr Abubakar said.
