He appealed to members of the general public in the State irrespective of political and religious affiliations to continue to cooperate with the Agency, saying that the citizens shouldn't allow unpatriotic elements to play with their future.


He however warned  the youths in the state to desist from political thuggery and drug abuse, stressing that they should not allow selfish politicians to destroy  their future.


The commandant also urged the unpatriotic politicians  in the State to avoid engaging the youths into political thuggery and drug related offences to achieve their political and selfish interest.


"As we all know, the election is fast approaching, I want to appeal to the people particularly the youths and those in the political circle to maintain laws and orders, especially during the election days"


"I want to state clearly that anybody who chooses to go against the laws of the land will never go unpunished no matter his or her position because the law is not a respecter of anybody"


Recall that the committee was first established as a Committee by Executive Order No 2, 2022 by Governor Bello Mohammed Matawalle to fight act of political thuggery, drugѕ abuse and other related criminal offences in the State.


However, the State House of Assembly passed the anti thuggery bill, No 02, 2023 into law, converting the committee into full Agency, hence the chairman of the committee therefore becomes a commandant of the Agency.
