Investigative and Independent Journalist, Ahmad Salkida has revealed that an Islamic State cell is searching for a foothold in the Zamfara/Sokoto axis of the North West Nigeria.

Salkida disclosed this in a series of tweets on his verified and official twitter handle, stating that the crisis situation in Zamfara hasn’t ushered in the desired results following military deployment.

He also revealed that there is an upsurge of violence in some Katsina communities bordering Zamfara State.

He said, “Zamfara in the last 7 days has not ushered in the desired results following Military deployment. The Military and the bandits, at best, have been playing a cat and mouse game”.

“At one moment, expectations rise to the impending routing of the bandits in one particular forest and in the next moment the bandits have melted unscathed to other forests”.

“For instance, we are witnessing an upsurge of banditry and disturbing violence in Safana and Batsari areas in Katsina state. Media and public attention on this front is at zero level, but not any less more troubling than what had been reported in Zamfara”.

If they like they should find a body hold in North West.. as long as their problems remain in the north. We in the south are cool with that

This is an utterly dumb and unnecessary statement from any Nigerian. Do you know that funds allocated to fighting Boko Harem has consistently been greater than education and heath budgets combined over the years? That 'cool' feeling is misplaced, methinks.

Salkida needs to be questioned by government. He seems to me a CIA agent doing covert work aimed at destabilising Nigeria's Muslim mix and balance

One terrorist/extremist spotted. You need to be killed before you raise more extremist like you
