The chairman of Gudu Local Government
Area of Sokoto State, Yusuf Kurdula, says his administration has taken
measures to contain the influx of Nigeriens into the country.

He said this in Balle, headquarters of
the council, when he received a team of the state’s chapter of the
Nigeria Union of Journalists, which was on a monitoring tour of
projects. Mr. Kurdula said though the council shares borders with the
neighbouring Niger Republic, it has taken proactive measures to
forestall breach of peace due to the influx.

He said the people had been sensitised on the need to promptly
report all suspicious persons and their movements to security agents.
“They are also being sensitised on the need to live peacefully with
each other. Nobody should take the laws into his hands,” he said.
