Mr. Mohammed A. Adamu,
The Acting Inspector General of Police,
Nigerian Police Force,
Force Headquarters, Abuja.
Sir,

REQUEST FOR AN URGENT SECURITY RESPONSE IN KANKARA TOWN AND ENVIRONS

I write on behalf of the entire people of Kankara Local Government to bring to your attention the plight of the people of the said area.

Sir, it is not exaggeration to say that we are under siege. Cattle rustling, kidnapping for ransom, armed robbery and banditry have become common place in our area. As a people we live in constant fear and trepidation. This is happening in spite of the efforts of Katsina state government of disarming the bandits and lawfully engaging them through an amnesty programme initiated by the government.
Security situation is deteriorating on daily basis and getting delicate to an alarming rate. We have no option than to write to your office and seek for the deployment of IGP-Intelligence Response Team.

We have closely monitored this team under the valiant leadership of DCP Abba Kyari and appreciate their effort in curtailing the rate of the crimes in many crises ridden parts of the state including our area. We have watched how he sent his team to Katsina under the leadership of DSP Aliyu Mohammad and succeeded in arresting notorious kidnap kingpins, armed robbers and cattle rustlers that terrorized some parts of the State including our area. Thus, as a people, we will be highly appreciative if the team is deployed to our Local Government for some time to help the existing security structure fish out the criminals in our midts.
Thanks as we anticipate a positive response.
Yours faithfully,

Malam Ibrahim Sani Kankara
