Following the ultimatum issued by the Arewa youths to the Igbos to leave the north in three months, the Sokoto State Police Command has said that it is committed to ensuring law and order and protecting the lives of all residents of the state.

The state Commissioner of Police, Alhaji Abdulkadir Mohammed, gave the assurance during a meeting with leaders of resident communities at the police headquarters, Sokoto.

Mohammed called on the resident communities to ignore the threat and remain calm, saying the police was on top of the situation.
