The Sultan added that as security agents they were expected to lead  by example in the discharge of their duties in accordance with rules and regulations of the job.

He advised security agencies in the country to work together in their bid to keep the country safe, even as he commended them, particularly those agencies in Sokoto State, for their tireless efforts in maintaining peace and stability in all parts of the state and assured them full support and cooperation of the traditional rulers in the state to achieve success.
