The Yobe Government on Tuesday expressed determination to address rising immoral acts through coordinated action in Potiskum Local Government Area.
Alhaji Idi Gubana, the state deputy governor, made this known at a stakeholders meeting in Potiskum.
Gubana, who described Potiskum as a strategic local government in the state, warned that allowing such acts to persist could have serious moral and social consequences.
He said the government considered the situation urgent and necessary for collective intervention involving relevant stakeholders across the state.
Also speaking, Mr Muhammed Danchuwa, a member of the committee, said that the meeting was convened after a social media video calling on the state authorities and stakeholders to address the problem.
Danchuwa said it was based on this that the deputy governor invited traditional rulers, members of the State House of Assembly, Chief Imams, religious leaders, and security agencies to deliberate on the issue.
