The Emir of Daura in Katsina State, Alhaji  Umar Farouk Umar has rejected  the house-to-house search embarked upon by the Army and other security agents in his domain  after the attack on the ancient city by terrorists suspected to be from Niger Republic.
The emir described the action as inhumane and unwarranted, insisting that the people in his domain were peace-loving people and should not be subjected to such experience.
The emir, who spoke when he received members of the National Assembly from Katsina State, on the platform of the Congress for Progressive Change (CPC), who visited his palace to commiserate with him over the unfortunate incident, said such things had never happened in Daura Emirate because the emirate council had a comprehensive data of all the people residing in the domain.
He said the policy that the security agents had adopted to checkmate the insurgents in the country would not address the security challenges, but would rather compound the security challenges.
“We traditional rulers are the custodians of the people and are ready to support and cooperate with security agents with a view to achieving a common goal,” he said.
He commended the three senators from Katsina State and the 10 House of Representatives members from the state for their concern, and appealed to them to come up with laws that would transform the lives of the people.
Speaking with journalists after the visit on behalf of the lawmakers, Honourable Mansur Abdulkadir Funtua said lack of good governance by the ruling party was the major problem affecting Nigeria.
He said for almost 15 years, the ruling party had failed to address the problems of poverty, unemployment, corruption and insecurity while no good government in the world  could fold it’s  arm and watch criminals kill innocent souls.

The Army should go ahead and do the house-house search not withstanding the Emir's opposition. No human being is above the law....... Huh?

He objected to the house to house search, for he has given the terrorists a safe haven in his emirate !!!,
Do we need to look further who the real terrorists kingpins are ??  Nigeria's intelligence services will be shooting off the marks if the blame foreigners for the security lapse in the northern region .!!!
