Insecurity: Sokoto residents to require fingerprints to rent properties
Governor Aminu Tambuwal of Sokoto says his administration has established a Tenancy Regulatory Commission for proper documentation of occupiers of properties within the state.
The governor, in an interview with journalists in Sokoto said that when fully operational, the commission will go a long way to promote security in the state.
“The purpose, for instance, is that anybody who is renting a property in Sokoto state will be properly documented, including the person’s fingerprints.
“We will have your passport deposited with the commission. Should anything happen, it would be easy for security agencies to trace the person,” Mr Tambuwal said.
He noted that his administration was providing necessary support to security agencies to enhance their operations in protecting the people of the state.
The governor said that though issues of security were basically the responsibility of the federal government, his administration was providing key support to the security agencies.
He said such supports include providing the agencies with the logistics, operational vehicles and allowances when they are on special operations in the state.
