One of Gani’s shops located at the old market, Sokoto, was attacked in the early hours of Tuesday.
Although there was no loss of life, the hoodlums carted away an undisclosed amount of money and some wares.
The governor pledged the state government’s assistance to all the security agencies.
He expressed the need for community policing, saying,'” the provision of security is a collective responsibility of all Nigerians”.
