Speaking in a security meeting a day ago, the 20th powerful northern monarch, the Sultan of Sokoto, Alhaji Sa ad Abubakar berated the newly established security outfit called ‘Shege Ka Fasa’ in the north which was created as a copy of the South-West Amotekun.

The monarch who was furious with the idea faulted elites in the region, nothing that the whole thing is made up just to score cheap political points.

Naija News understands that His Royal Highness, Abubakar expressed his dissatisfaction with the development while speaking at the Northern Security Meeting which was held in Kaduna on Thursday.

It could be recalled Abdul-Azeez Suleiman, the spokesman of the Coalition of Northern Group (CNG) on Wednesday, unveiled a regional security outfit for the North known as “Shege-Ka-Fasa”.

Reacting to the security outlet, the Sultan of Sokoto said, “I saw it on the television, and the media gave them attention. Now, the elders allowed these youths to go forward. So, the elites are our problems, the elders are our problems. If the elders don’ t take the lead, the youth will do whatever they like and think they are right. You have to caution these youths by giving them good leadership.“

“Now, they have launched their own security outfit I don ’t know what they call it, Shege Ka Fasa’, meaning what? “

He added “So, I want to call on northern elders to caution them. Don ’ t allow these youths to take over leadership from you. You have to reach out to everybody no matter how low the person is. So, I think we need to take the bull by the horns and not allow the youths to take over responsibility. I think we need to do that and much more.”
