The Sultan while speaking at the 80th edition of the National Islamic Vocation Course (IVC) on Wednesday, December 27, 2023, said bandits are always a step ahead of the government.
He said, “We only condemned such things but after condemning such activities by these bandits and criminals what next? What are the rest of the government who are supposed to protect our lives and property (doing)? Why do we keep on having these clashes, why do we keep on having these deaths caused by ourselves? The Tudun Biri incident is still fresh with us and now the incident in the Plateau.”
The monarch also questioned the strategy of the security agencies saying, “Why can’t you be proactive to stop such attacks before they happen?”
