South-west governors meet traditional rulers over insecurity
2 min read
South-west governors in Nigeria on Saturday met with traditional rulers to discuss the security challenges rocking the region.
PREMIUM TIMES has extensively reported how killings and kidnappings for ransom have become rampant in the region and the seeming helplessness of security operatives to tackle rising crimes.
There have also been cases of farmers-herdsmen clashes, leading to deaths, destruction of farms and other valuable properties.
