He said, “This exercise is necessitated by the rising case of security challenges and in the course of our operation, we discovered some jackknives in one place called Sambisa. These can be used to lynch a person.”
The director also urged allottees of the undeveloped plots in the area to develop them or risk revocation.
The Daki Biyu Palace Secretary, Mr. Andy Sanga, said the operation is “very painful but we have to take it in good faith because we can’t fight the government.”
