He personally supervised the mobilization of security personnel to the troubled spot, using phones. And displaced persons’’ he said
Agassi also explained that apart from the  visits, Almakura directed that I made visits, where we gave reliefs in terms of materials and cash. Pleases, such a governor deserves commendation, not condemnation from our youths, he added
