The governor, who spoke during a townhall on Channels Television to mark Nigeria’s 25th Democracy Day in Abuja on Wednesday, said precious human lives are being toyed with.

“By name, I am the chief security officer of my state but when it comes to command and control, I don’t have control over any of the security outfit whether the military, the police or civil defence,” he said.
“They take their instructions from their superiors not from the governors. We don’t have that control, I wish we do have, it would have been a different story.”
