Sultan claims Sokoto is not SAFE for Corps Members in a recent interview.

The Sultan of Sokoto, Sa’ad Abubakar, has warned National Youth Service Corps members posted to Sokoto that the northern state is not safe amid the continued deterioration of insecurity across the country.

“I urge you to be security conscious while staying in Sokoto. You know there are security challenges now all over the world. We have our own share also.

”You should not keep late nights, and if you have any challenges contact your district head because they are like your father and guardian,” he said.

Mr Abubakar spoke when he hosted some selected NYSC Batch A stream 2 Corps members posted to Sokoto in his palace on Monday that sokoto is not safe for Corps Members posted to the state.

The paramount ruler, who advised the corps members to respect the customs and traditions of their host communities, urged them to be security-conscious as there are security challenges in parts of the state.

He gave assurance that there would not be any reprisal because a northerner had been killed in Owerri, Enugu, or Aba, insisting that another person should not be punished because of what someone did elsewhere.
