Village Head of Kopa in Madagali Local Government, Lawan Luka, told the delegation that people have been digging trenches on a road regularly used by the terrorists, but the insurgents always return to fill them back.
The community leaders called for more deployment of security and medical personnel to the areas to beef up security and enhance healthcare delivery.
“We want the army to send troops to our village to work with our local vigilante to contain the terrorists, ” Luka said.
Addressing the traditional rulers and other stakeholders, Seth said the delegation was mandated by the state governor to visit the areas to assess situation and sympathise with the people over the incident.
“The Governor would have led this delegation himself, but he is not around. He is outside the state for an official engagement that has to do with the interest of the state.
“He said we should commend you for your resilience and support to security agencies and to urge you to continue to support our security personnel in their efforts to protect you,” Seth stated.
