Although the governor was unavailable to address the aggrieved soldiers, it was learnt that the Secretary to the State Government, Balarabe Lawal, met with them.
Mr. Lawal was said to have assured the protesting soldiers that Mr. El-Rufai would receive their complaints and forward same to the appropriate authorities.
