Worried about the present chaotic state,the Okere of Saki, Oba Khalid Olabisi has called on the Nigerian Army to convert the 244 army battalion at Shaki, to a full Brigade.
The traditional ruler made the call when he and some traditional rulers from Okeogun visited the Chief of Army Staff(COAS), Lieutenant-General Tukur Buratai, at the army headquarters in Abuja.
He noted that the military unit is due for an upgrade, which in turn would address the security challenges in Saki, a town which shares border with Benin Republic.
