Kidnapping, banditry sparked a protest in Zamfara earlier today. See thread https://www.nairaland.com/6579504/zamfara-youths-block-major-highway#102224562

Addressing a press conference on April 2, the Commissioner of Information in Zamfara, Ibrahim Dosara, revealed that no fewer than 2,619 people were killed in the state between 2011 and 2019.

He added that bandits abducted 1,190 people from various parts of Zamfara in the last eight years, and over 100,000 people were displaced from their ancestral homes as a result of bandits’ activities, while 14,378 livestock were rustled within the period.

Dosara noted that the Zamfara State government has spent the sum of N970 million on payment of ransom to bandits to secure the release of kidnapped victims since 2011.

He lamented that there were more than 100 different camps and over 30,000 bandits operating across Zamfara and beyond, but the state government would continue with its amnesty programme for bandits as part of measures to secure its people.

This is why this kidnapping by terrorists can never end.

The bandits are using the act to enrich themselves while the state government is also using it as a means of diverting the public funds to their accounts.
No one can tell me that not less than 60% of this money is kept by the Governor and his officials through inflated ransom payments and non-existing ransom payment

Useless north..


The only thing the north can spend money on is MOSQUE AND BANDITS.

MOSQUE: they use it to breed terrorists and bandits.

And still use another money to pay the bandit they bred...


Even Muhammed will be regretting and burning in hell for what he taught them...

Perhaps there’s a special adviser to the governor on ransom payments, and the special adviser has an office with officers who come to work once a month when salary is paid.

Instead of paying ransom, what stops them from setting up a well funded security unit that will flush those bandits out of their hiding place undecided

Hmmmmm..... that's about a billion Naira. That would have provided more jobs for the youth even in security outfits than these. May God help this country.
