Insecurity: Army pleads with Kaduna to relocate community

From Mohammad Ibrahim, Kaduna

Following the pervading insecurity in the country, Commandant of the Armed Forces Command and Staff Colleges (AFCSC) Jaji, Air Vice Marshall Effiong Osim, yesterday advised Kaduna state government to assist in relocating a community called Wusono village, found inside the military barracks.

According to him, the need to relocate the community became necessary so as to protect the barracks.

The Commandant made the appeal when he led some senior officers of the command on a courtesy call on Governor Mukhtar Ramalan Yero, at Sir Kahim Ibrahim Government House, said if the village moved from the area it will be easy for the army to secure the area.

"We want the governor to help relocate the village from there because the relocation of the village which is inside the barrack would aid the command in securing the military area against encroachment, as well as to secure the environment against any security threats.

"When we got there, we tried to see how we can fuse the villages with us, so what we did was to employ 100 of their youths with various qualifications," he said.

In his remarks, Yero assured the Army of his administration's readiness to support the command.

He said that he needed to have more clarification from them on the issue of relocating those villages around them, adding that his government tried to find an access road to those villages instead of them passing through the barracks.
