The Executive Governor of Yobe State who is also the Chairman APC Caretaker Extraordinary Convention Planning Committee, Hon. Mai Mala Buni, has sued youth in Gashua for calm following alleged shooting of a youth by security operative in Garin Alkali.

A statement issued and signed Friday by Malam Mamman Mohammed, the Director General, Press and Media Affairs to the Govenor said Governor Buni has already directed the immediate investigation into the matter for necessary action.

He described the incident as unfortunate “especially now that we are recording progress in sustainable peace across the state.

“Government and the security authorities would not tolerate any act of recklessness capable of disrupting our hard earned peace”, he said.

“I therefore assure you that government would properly investigate the matter and deal with it decisively.

“I also appeal to our good people of Bade local government area and the entire state to remain calm and law abiding.

“We should avoid anything detrimental to our peace. You are advised to be good Muslims and take it as the will of Allah and avoid bonfire on the roads” Governor Buni said.

“May Allah (SWT) forgive the deceased of his shortcomings, grant him Aljannatur Firdaus and to his family, the fortitude to bear the loss” Governor Buni prayed.
