“As part of our efforts to strengthen security in this area, we will work closely with the Sokoto State government and security agencies to ensure that criminals have no hiding place,” he stated.
In addition to security measures, the governor approved the construction of three motorized boreholes, two in Ba-jiza and one in Rausa Kade to provide clean water for residents.
“To further support these communities, I have approved the construction of three motorized boreholes to alleviate the water scarcity challenges faced by residents,” he announced.

The Chairman of Arewa Local Government, Hon. Sani Aliyu, commended the governor for his swift intervention and assured residents of continued government support.
“We appreciate the prompt response of the governor and the security agencies who are working tirelessly to restore peace in our communities,” Aliyu said.

Boko Haram insurgent lays down arms, says no food, military after them
A Boko Haram fighter has surrendered to troops of the 26 Task Force Brigade Joint Task Force (JTF) Operation Hadin Kai in Gwoza Local Government Area of Borno State and called on other insurgents to renounce terrorism.
This was contained in a post by security analyst Zagazola Makama on his official X handle on Sunday.
According to the report, the insurgent, who operated under the notorious Boko Haram commander Ali Ngulde in the Mandara Mountains, turned himself in at about 11:30 a.m. on March 1 to troops conducting piqueting duties along the Gwoza-Limankara Road.
He handed over one AK-47 rifle and a magazine containing seven rounds of 7.62mm special ammunition.
The defector attributed his decision to intensified military operations, oppression from Boko Haram leaders, internal injustice, and a growing food crisis due to supply route blockages.
“Many of our people want to lay down their arms, but they fear that they will be killed by both our leaders and the Nigerian military,” he revealed.
He further expressed relief after surrendering, saying, “I never thought it would be this easy to lay down my gun and come out. I am sure when they see this, they will start running out from the bushes to surrender.”
The fighter urged remaining insurgents in the Mandara Mountains to abandon terrorism and embrace peace.
The post further revealed that the Nigerian military has since taken the surrendered insurgent into custody for profiling and further necessary actions.

California made healthcare free for immigrants with $9 billion tax burden – Elon Musk
Elon Musk, who is overseeing the President Donald Trump administration’s Department of Government Efficiency, DOGE, has accused California of encouraging influx of illegal immigrants.
The tech billionaire, who stated this in an interview with Joe Rogan, said healthcare services is free for illegals in California with a whooping $9 billion tax burden.
According to Musk, what happens in California “is that you simply have more patients than a doctor can possibly see”.
Musk described the healthcare policy in the state as “a gigantic magnet for more illegals” to come into the United States.
He claimed that the elite in California are doing fine because they can afford private doctors, “but your average citizen in California is not doing fine”.
“So then the average citizen in California suffers as a result. Now, the elite in California are fine ’cause they have private doctors, they can just pay, pay for the best doctors.
“The tax burden for healthcare for legals was supposed to be $3 billion. I think they now estimated it’s $9 billion. But that number will scale to infinity”, Musk added.
