In a passionate call for proactive citizenship, Brigadier General Dahiru Abdulsalam (Rtd), the Senior Special Adviser on Security Matters to Governor Mai Mala Buni, has urged the good people of Yobe State to remain security conscious and report all suspicious activities without hesitation.
Speaking during a strategic engagement with local stakeholders, Brig. Gen. Abdulsalam stressed that security is everyone’s business, and lasting peace can only be achieved through active community participation and early intelligence sharing.
“Our communities must not be passive observers. When you see something, say something. Prompt reporting of strange faces, unusual gatherings, or suspicious behaviors can help prevent threats before they strike,” he said.
He commended Governor Buni’s unwavering commitment to the safety of Yobe citizens and highlighted ongoing efforts by the state government to strengthen partnerships between security agencies and local communities.
The retired General emphasized that security agencies remain on high alert, but their success depends largely on the support and vigilance of residents.
“Criminals thrive where people are silent. Yobe will not be that place,” he declared.
Brig. Gen. Abdulsalam’s message comes amid intensified state-wide campaigns to bolster grassroots intelligence and build a united front against insurgency, banditry, and other criminal threats.
The call is clear: Vigilance is a weapon—use it.
