Ahmed told the News Agency of Nigeria (NAN) in an interview, Friday, in Dutse that the corps members were taken from their places of primary assignments.
He explained that the decision became necessary because there was threat to their lives by hoodlums in the area.
“They called me and the DG, asking us to come and take them from Hadejia because their lives were not secure”
“They also reported to us that the irate youths stormed the police station, where they sought refuge, threatening them ”
“As I am talking to you now, I have brought all the corps members in the area to the state capital for their safety”
He said that they had informed the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) that the corps members in Hadejia would not participate in the forthcoming Governorship and state house of assembly elections.
NAN recalls that Hadejia, Mallamadori and Jahun were among the towns that experienced post-election violence in the state.
