He said in the past, dozens of residents were killed in his emirate in similar attacks and they were thinking that with the assurance given by the government and the security operatives that the attacks and would be stopped.
The emir then charged the security operatives to live up to the expectations of the people in tackling the menace of armed banditry and cattle rustling plaguing the communities.
"We are begging you to help us in protecting our lives and property. The Police Force and the Federal Government should provide adequate logistics to the security officials," he added.
