According to him, the lives of citizens have been reduced to nothing in the land, and the lives and properties of the people are being obliterated at will by the perpetrators.
Achie said: ” I sincerely feel it is time His Excellency; Gov. El-rufai to call on the security apparatus for a review of strategy and possible changes where possible.”
