Bandits, cattle rustlers have been granted amnesty by governors in the north-west. The Katsina state governor made this known on Thursday in a communiqué issued after security and reconciliation meeting with security agents, vigilante, volunteer groups, herdsmen and farmers in Katsina.

He said: “As from today, no vigilante group member or volunteers should attack or kill any herdsman, as sacrifice must be made by both sides to ensure peace reign,”

“Herdsmen and their families should be allowed to go about their normal businesses, attend markets and worship places without molestation provided they don’t carry arms.

“Those bandits who rustled animals from communities should immediately return them to the government or Miyetti Allah Cattle Breeders Association.

“Bandits should surrender their weapons and immediately release all those kidnapped and now under their custody.

“We are happy that we have seen some releases of kidnapped victims from Zamfara and other states.”

Also Zamfara governor Bello Matawalle said that the states would provide grazing reserve for the herders for them to settle in one place in the zone. We are concerned that herders are always roaming around with their animals thereby exposing themselves to different kinds of hazards,”

“The governors took a uniform measure; you should also take a uniform decision not to rustle animals, kidnap or kill anyone. You should immediately release all people in your custody in order to show the world that you have truly repented,” Matawalle said.

Amnesty which failed woefully in the case of Boko Haram and which actually encouraged them to intensify their terror is now being offered to bandits.
