The governor added, “I’m calling on the federal government to work with us as governors and local governments because that’s where the solution is.”

Governor Bala Mohammed says northern governors and residents know bandits terrorising the region, and sometimes some of them help the bandits to commit atrocities.

“We are all policemen today. We know these bandits. We know where they stay and what they do,” Mr Mohammed. “Sometimes, they are aided and abetted by some of us, and we should fish them out because the police in their numbers are already overwhelmed.”

The governor added, “I’m calling on the federal government to work with us as governors and local governments because that’s where the solution is.”

According to the governor, President Muhammadu Buhari’s regime will not be able to tackle the continued deterioration of nationwide insecurity alone.

Mr Mohammed further explained, “It is the responsibility of the federal, state and the local governments, including all the traditional institutions in the country.

“These problems can only with tackled with concerted efforts and collaboration from the federal, state, and local governments.

“As a nation, we are challenged by so many aspects of misdemeanours, crime, and criminality. It is not just a federal government’s responsibility. I hope we sit down as a country to reflect and make sure we bring solutions.”

It's not a new story

Name them naa

Oil revenue dwindling...how you want northern govs to survive without kidnapping?

The short Midget is number one

The entire northern elites are complicit

Sheikh Gunmi is shocked


Buhari is more interested in Palestine/Israeli crises than bandits problem in Nigeria.


I hope if proper investigation is launched into this Bala Mohammed won't be among the governors.

Anyway I don't trust the two Fulani governors that has been FCT Minister when it comes to bandits sponsorship.

I would wait and see what their fellow Fulani by name Gunmi will say about this concerning his boys

This is an open secret nah.El Rufai, Matawalle, Bala Mohammed himsef, Sheikh Gumi are all involved. Obadiah Mailafia was speaking the solemn truth that even the stupid DSS that were threatening him to keep quiet fully know hence understands.So DSS will do nada with this info.

What's that not what ortom of benue said that u attacked him ?

LMAO this people no smart at all

Most of us know this already!

Call Elrufai’s name nobody will beat you

Some northern governors deliberately fuel crisis to destabilize their states and then use the same evil tactics to get more money on 3 fronts (kickbacks from the same bandits they sponsor + more security votes from Abuja + their normal monthly allocations). What those northern states and their govs mischievously get at the end of every month is far more than many other states down south.

It’s nothing new, we know that region is allergic to peace and progress
