Sokoto Seeks Suspension Of Networks’ Blockade by GenesisForum: 6:51am On Oct 24, 2021
According to Governor Tambuwal, the call for the rescinding of the blockade became necessary because of concerns expressed by security outfits in the state that the outage was affecting the smooth conduct of their works.

After an enlarged Security Council meeting about bandits’ attack on Goronyo market which claimed the lives of 43 people last week, the Sokoto state government has formally written to the Federal Government to suspend the blockade of telecommunications services earlier imposed on 14 local government areas of the state.

Governor Aminu Tambuwal of Sokoto state disclosed this on Saturday when he received the North-East Governors Forum, represented by Governors of Borno and Gombe state, Professor Babagana Zulum and Alhaji Muhammad Inuwa Yahaya respectively, who paid a condolence visit to the state over the bandits’ attack of last week.

According to Governor Tambuwal, the call for the rescinding of the blockade became necessary because of concerns expressed by security outfits in the state that the outage was affecting the smooth conduct of their works.

“The state government has already forwarded a letter to the Minister of Communications and Digital Economy to review the internet blockade,” the governor said.

Tambuwal, who attributed the influx of the marauders to the security operations in Zamfara state, asked the Federal Government to expand the onslaught against bandits operation to other states of the North-West.

In the same vein, the six governors of the North-East geopolitical zone have donated the sum of N20 million to the Sokoto state government. The gesture is coming a week after the dastardly killings of 43 people in Goronyo Local Government Area of Sokoto state.

Governor Zulum, who is also the Chairman of the North-East Governors Forum, while announcing the donation, expressed sadness over the incident and offered that with his more than a decade experience of engaging the Boko Haram insurgents, he will offer valuable counsel to Sokoto state and other North-Western states currently experiencing the scourge of bandits and marauders.

Tambuwal, while applauding the NEGF for its kind gesture, promised that his administration would avail itself with the wealth of experience of his counterparts.

There was never a time blocking the entire network operation in such zones was a wise decision.

How can families alert each other what is going on at any point in time?

How can they effectively warn those coming into the town from the outside what's happening inside already?

How can they plan their escape?

Buhari's government and meaningless shortcut fixes.... always throwing away a whole baby alongside the bathwater.

Someone should please tell them this "cut-and-join patchy-patchy" security method is absurd.

Bad strategy that can not stand the test of time. Only illiterate will apply that style. Instead of using the communication technology to track the bandits. Brainless leaders

When u av a cow herder with Taliban style way of thinking as a president,what do u expect?
As soon as that network ban idea was mooted,we warned it was a st upid thought,that keeping the networks on is even supposed to aid the security agencies,in any clime where security agencies actually do their job.
But with a senile president, Taliban loving communications minister, Taliban style reasoning presidency and security agencies not at all interested in doing the job they signed up for, blocking the network was the archaic idea they came up with.
