Governor Bello Matawalle of Zamfara State has banned Emirs and chiefs in the state from sleeping outside their domains.
He warned that anyone that violates the order would lose their seat.
The governor equally directed local government chairmen to stay in their councils.
Matawalle also vowed to deal decisively with anyone caught fuelling insecurity in the state.
The governor spoke Friday at a security meeting with traditional rulers, the Council of Ulama and heads of security operatives in the state.
“Henceforth, no Emir or Chief is allowed to pass a night outside his domain. You must stay with your people at all times to address the problems of Security in your area.
“As for those who aid and abet insecurity in the state, I say enough is enough. We shall return your wickedness and heartlessness with the wrath you will never envisage,” Matawalle said.

On the council chairmen, Matawalle said, “All Local Government Chairmen in the state are also directed to state put at their local government areas because they are the Chief Security Officers of their respective areas. It is therefore, prohibited for them to be spending their nights outside their areas unless on crucial official duty.”
