The controller, who was represented by the command’s spokesman, Zakari Chado, explained that the seizure came at a time when the citizens were struggling to obtain the commodity at affordable prices.
Also speaking, CP Olaiya said security and development were inseparable because “no investors would be willing to invest in an atmosphere laced with fear and anxiety.”
