Insecurity: Yobe LG prohibits residents from carrying cutlasses, sharp objects
Amid rising insecurity, Karasuwa Local Government Area of Yobe State has placed a ban on individuals or groups from bringing cutlasses and other sharp objects into communities and markets. The ban came into effect through a bye-law enacted by the legislative council. This was announced by the Director of Personnel Management of the Council, Magaji Muhammad. He said the enactment of the law became necessary due to rising concerns over public safety, harassment, and the potential for violence associated with the indiscriminate carrying of such weapons in public places. According to him, the bye-law aims to maintain peace, safeguard lives and property, and foster a secure and conducive environment for all residents and visitors. The DPM added that the Council had requested all security agencies to take active steps to enforce the bye-law by monitoring entry points to the towns and markets, conducting periodic patrols, and apprehending the violators. "Adequate public sensitisation campaign has been initiated to ensure that all residents are aware of the new regulation," he said.
