Senator Marafa whose sister was killed by armed bandits in Zamfara state few months ago, has revealed that the bandits have killed 11,000 men and orphaned 44,000 in the state so far. In a statement made available to journalists in Abuja on Sunday, Marafa, who is the Chairman of the Senate Committee on Petroleum Resources (Downstream) thanked his colleagues in the two chambers of the National Assembly for the provision of N10bn in the 2019 budget to address the deteriorating humanitarian crises in the state.

Recall that the National Assembly while passing the 2019 budget, made a provision of N10bn for the creation of an intervention fund to be called the Presidential Initiative on Zamfara State to cater for the humanitarian disaster in state.Senator Marafa who revealed that the bandits have killed 11,000 men and orphaned 44,000 in Zamfara, said his colleagues’ support for the initiative showed that with unity of purpose and direction, the country could overcome its challenges.

He said the “unfortunate and dark eight years of banditry from 2011 to date in Zamfara has conservatively led to the killing of over 11,000 male adults, leaving behind an estimated average of 22,000 widows – at two wives per person – and an estimated 44,000 orphans at an average of four children per deceased.”

Terrorism would never end in Nigeria until we stop making it profitable...

Zamfara Macban is about being paid N100bn to end kidnappings... 3 years allocation of the least state to a group of individuals who major in killing and kidnapping, they were even asking for N160bn.

Seriously am beginning to see reason with those who are for division of this country..

God help Nigeria... Happy fasting to my Muslim friends..

This stupid man. So You Were there counting anybody killed? God will definitely have a harsher judgment for Nigerian politicians. Otherwise, why is it that whenever they are out of political favor, they either instigate violence killing people or they celebrate seeing people killed, carmouflaging to be speaking for the people.

Just because this man lost primary election, he has sworn that there will never be peace in zamfara state. claiming to have the right antidote for all the problems confronting the state. So It must be him or nobody else.

This people should stop playing politics in sensitive issues, how did he cum up with the figure, was he there

Watch your utterance Senetor Marafa

Nice

Less terrorists to worry about

The spate of insecurity in Nigeria today compared to what it was at the close of 2014 is beyond comprehension!

When PDP (the corrupt party) was in power, we never had it this bad! GEJ was being seen as an "ineffective buffon" and was called other heinous names because of the activities of Boko Haram which he was able to curb to an extent until APC came out with their chants of CHANGE!

Now what do we have today?

Boko Haram still overrunning some LGAs in Borno and hoisting their flags with the chants of "Allah hu akbar" with the security agents like the NA refusing to give accurate reports of events...

Kidnappings without fear going on Kaduna-Abuja Express road and just recently Kastina even Daura the hometown of PMB...

Banditry with the attendant killings unabated in Zamfara State

Fulani militia killings in some towns and areas in Benue, Adamawa, Plateau...

Just close your eyes and imagine if GEJ was in power and all these were happening...just close your eyes and imagine what would have happened... But here we are with the "New Sheriff in Town" who promised Nigerians an El-dorado (paradise) if elected into power but he seems to be so unconcerned about the events occurring and even had to travel to U.K. and left you all to your fate!

Even Lai Mohammed has become tired and run out of lies and excuses.

The North ably led by PMB instigated violence and anarchy to grab power from GEJ. They succeeded but the monster they collectively created could not be killed.
I have no pity for what has befallen them. It's self-inflicted. Karma is a bad ass bitch.

These numbers may be false, it's just a bid to increase security votes and allocate billions to 'fighting insecurity' in the north

Bandits or Terrorist

It will definitely happen.Just a matter of time.

Bandits Abi Boko Haram, So what are you People doing about it, Or did we put you'all in Government to be broadcasting Number of Dead people for Us, Tufiakwa

Allahamdullahi, Please lets give the president all the support he needs to continue his good work.
Thank God he understands that the North is too populous and the population needs to be culled.

Northerners should ask Pakistan afganistan that made Islam number one religion in their countries and every other religion is for infidel what happened later,today there re more than 80000 madrasaa school in both Pakistan and afganistan what are they producing? future sucide bombers,thats what is going on in northern Nigeria ,north with over 5 million almajiris all over the northern states there is danger ahead,northern elites used religion to blind the children of the poor parents amongst them, the elites in northern Nigeria will never sleep again with their two eyes closed ,dog cannot finish eating human poos and expect goat to get rotten teeth,�what ever northern elites sow they shall reap

They should just keep their harvest of terrorism there.

THIS IS TOO SMALL. BANDITS CREATED, FINANCED AND SUPPORTED BY THE NORTH. THE EVIL A MAN SOW IT SHALL HURTS AND HUNTS HIM. THI JUST THE BEGINNING. DURING OBASONJO, YERIMA STARTED SHARIA, WHAT IS NOW HAPPENING IN THE WHOLE NORTH -BORNO, ADAMAWA, TARABA, YOBE, KASTINA, ZAMAFRA ETC

Islam will destroy nigeria walahi!

My own is let north generate the money to be used to settle a northern problem

I dont know why we all have to pay for a northern mistake

When GEJ was president of Nigeria, Boko haram norminated PMB as their most trusted patron to negotiate with FG on their behalf.

Now that PMB is president why can't he call his boys to order since he knows them?

Just wondering and thinking out loud.

Bandits have killed a lot of people in Zamfara but everytime you see round figures like 11,000 and 44,000 you know the figure is computed by lazy officials. If we can't have the specific figure then let's know it's approximation.

There is no value for lives here and the government is looking the other way while ethnic purging is in progress.
