Mallam Hussaini Abubakar warned the ward and village heads to desist from accommodating unknown visitors in their communities who might be having high rates of crime profiles in their former communities which will invariably reflect in the new community they settle and cause security infringements.

The District Head cautioned them to verify any document brought to them containing signatures of Emir of Bauchi and Chairman, Bauchi Local Government before they either accept or sign on such documents but from the right persons and appropriate channels.

He advised them to report anybody that brings such documents to them to the higher authorities for appropriate measures to be taken in lieu of the same.

He further advised the traditional leaders to out rightly decline gifts in form of animals or cash from unknown alien persons saying such people could be enemies of the relative peace Bauchi is enjoying at the moment.
