The Yobe state administration, in collaboration with the law enforcement agencies within the state, has resumed operations at the Kukareta and Buniyadi markets, which were temporarily closed due to safety concerns in the regions.
The markets situated in Gujba and Damaturu local government regions were closed to disrupt alleged food supply networks to the militants who have been threatening the inhabitants in recent periods.
Dahiru Abdulsalam, the Security Adviser to Governor Mai Mala Buni, disclosed this while briefing newsmen immediately after the Yobe State Security Meeting chaired by the Deputy Governor, Idi Barde-Gubana, at Government House, Damaturu.
“After the review of the security situations in the state, I am happy to announce to you that two out of the three markets shut down due to insecurity in Kukareta and Buniyadi have been reopened,” he said.
He, however, explained that the ban on the sale of Premium Motor Spirit, also known as petrol, between 6 pm to 6 am daily is still in place, and any violators found would be apprehended.
Likewise, Abdulsalam clarified that the state administration would form a task force to oversee the intrusion of agricultural lands and livestock pathways by both the crop cultivators and the pastoralists.
According to him, the measure is to curtail the clashes between them, although there has been a tremendous reduction in the farmers/herders clashes in recent times.
