Armed Banditry in Northern Nigeria

"Armed bandits sack 98 communities in #Zamfara State" - News Report

I woke up today to find an audio tape sent to me by a journalist of the massive protest by angry citizens from Batsari Local Government Area of Katsina state on banditry. Today Northern Nigeria is not only the extreme poverty capital of the whole world, Northern Nigeria is also the banditry capital of the world.

The peaceful protest in Katsina state was right and correct. The leaders should be told the truth of their gross failure to provide adequate security to innocent and defenseless Nigerians.

The question we ask why the sudden surge of armed banditry in Northern Nigeria?

The monumental fraudster Buhari promised Nigerians especially the people of Northern Nigeria heaven and earth of good governance and wealth creation. After more than 3 years in power people saw the exact opposite of what President Buhari promised. People are seeing extreme poverty, massive unemployment, officialized corruption, nepotism and massive deception. In order to realize the Buhari promised dream, some people took to armed banditry in Northern Nigeria.

These bandits move in groups, 100 to 200 armed bandits per group. They attack villages and towns and loot all things that have value. They also abduct women and girls and turn them to their sex slaves. They have well decorated camps deep inside the bush and forest where excess food is available. This is very attractive to the hungry and jobless youths of Northern Nigeria.

Some communities are sacked by these armed bandits. Close to one hundred communities were sacked by armed bandits in Zamfara state. Please do not ask me where were the army and police when these murderous plunder took place. Ask President Buhari who is notorious in sending more than 50,000 heavily-armed security forces to rig elections in some states but can to send adequate security to protect Nigerians from armed bandits.

Solution to armed banditry in Northern Nigeria

+The government should provide adequate security that include surveillance drones to protect Nigerians from the scourge of armed banditry.

+Nigerians are desperately in need of good governance. Leaders were elected to serve the people and not to steal and loot the treasury. There is prevalence of poverty and hunger in the land. Not everyone will endure extreme poverty and hunger. Some will resort to armed banditry for solution.

+ Massive illegal mining in Northern Nigeria should stop. Foreigners are behind these illegal mining and some of them are funding these armed bandits to de-populate the region for them to have free access.

+ Buhari's service chiefs are monumental failures. They had failed woefully. A responsible leader would have replaced them since. But is Tyrant Buhari responsible? Army chief Buratai brutally slaughtered 1000+ innocent children, women and men in Zaria in December 2015 for Tyrant Buhari in less than 72 hours. And like #ISIS and #BokoHaram terrorists wickedly dumped their dead bodies in mass graves at night to bury the evidences. Tyrant Buhari defended this genocide on National Television. The video is there for those that want to watch.

On a Final note, the oppressed people of the North West should not continue to sit at home and be attack by armed bandits. Protest is your right. The people of Batsari did the right thing. Come out and protest for improve security and good governance.

Let me address some of the issues you raised.

*The government should provide adequate security that include surveillance drones to protect Nigerians from the scourge of armed banditry. *
the armed bandits are armed enough to bring down any drone that is deployed.

*Massive illegal mining in Northern Nigeria should stop. Foreigners are behind these illegal mining and some of them are funding these armed bandits to de-populate the region for them to have free access. *

this is the main reason for the existence of armed banditry in that axis, as the activities of the bandits are diversionary, to take attention off the massive illegal mining being perpetrated by locals, foreigners and even government officials.


Nigeria needs intervention. From where, I dont know.

from tinubu

By the time all Nigerians are armed and licences to carry arms we will see bandits on the run or protesting death of their members

It's Bokoharam trying to consolidate their base.

Solution: Pre-structure our 36 States for Police, Resources and Electioneering Autonomy.

Devolve Responsibilities for Police, Resources and Elections Autonomy to our 36 States now.

Northerners have no value on human lives their own lives inclusive. As long as they chose to kill themselves, I'm ever excited to urge them on.
