Gombe State Implements Tough Security Measures, Bans Scrap Metal Trade
Gombe State Government, led by Governor Inuwa Yahaya, has introduced stringent security measures to bolster public safety and address recent security challenges. The State Attorney General, Barrister Zubair Muhammad Umar, announced the ban on scrap metal trade due to its association with security risks and vandalism of public assets.
The decision was made during a State Security Council meeting to intensify surveillance, particularly on individuals relocating to the state. Proper profiling and documentation of residents seeking accommodation in Gombe State will now be mandatory to strengthen intelligence gathering and enable security agencies to verify individuals when necessary.
