Senator Aliyu Wamakko has called on the people of the state to report any suspicious movement or any criminal element for proactive measures by the authorities concerned.
He stated this when he condoled with the families of five people shot by unknown gunmen last Thursday at a filling station at Fanari-Gumbi Road, at Fanari town in Wamakko local government area of the state.
The victims who had since been buried according to Islamic rites include Sulaiman Liman, Abdullahi Magaji, Faruku Usaman, and Umaru Labbo Liman, while the fifth person, Lawali Labbo, is currently undergoing medical treatment.
Wamakko, while condoling the families of the victims, described the incident as shocking and unfortunate and called on them to take heart, as that was the will of Allah.
He therefore charged the people of the area and the state as a whole to be vigilant and report any unfamiliar movement to the authorities concerned for quick action before the occurrence of any unlawful act.
He said those behind all the ungodly acts are within the community, hence the need to report them for adequate action.
The former governor said it was high time for the people to be active, not see things going wrong, and remain silent as this will continue to create more problems than solutions.
He, however, prayed to Allah to forgive the departed souls and give their families the fortitude to bear the irreparable loss.
