She said major kidnapping incidents in the territory were usually from those councils even though there are some isolated cases in the others  area councils.

She said the councils share boarder with some states noted for kidnapping, adding that when the bandits came to strike they will run back to those states.

She the Administration was determined to check both kidnapping and one chance syndicates in the territory.
The Director of the Department, Adamu Gwary, said the security committee had been divided into two, the kinetic, which made up of core security agencies and the non-kinectic which involves the traditional rulers and other relevant stakeholders.
