Sultan of Sokoto, Alhaji Sa’ad Abubakar III, has lamented about the worsening attacks by terrorists and bandits in different parts of the country.

While speaking in Bauchi state on Wednesday, December 27, the monarch said bandits and other criminal elements attacking Nigerians are always a step ahead of security agencies in gathering intelligence, urging the military and other security agencies to step up intelligence gathering.

He condemned the recent attack by gunmen in Plateau State which claimed the lives of over 100 persons with several others wounded.

He called on security agencies to be more proactive and try to prevent such attacks.

“We only condemned such things but after condemning such activities by these bandits and criminals what next? What are the rest of the government who are supposed to protect our lives and property doing? Why do we keep on having these deaths? The Tudun Biri incident is still fresh with us and now the recent on the Plateau.

Why can’t you be proactive to stop such attacks before they happen? What happened to our intelligence-gathering mechanism? Are you telling me that nobody knew about such attacks? In various places whether in Sokoto, Kebbi or Kaduna or anywhere, have we lost our sense of gathering information to avert any or such key loss? We must ask our government to be up and doing because these bandits are always a step ahead.” he said.

Lamenting that insecurity had been politicized in the country, the Sultan said it does not have anything to do with religion but that of leadership.

“We are all in one big country where we have poverty. Yes, Muslims, Christians and even those who don’t have religion go to the same market and they buy the same foodstuff, enter the same vehicles and pay the same fares. So, it is not the issue of religion, let’s not tell ourselves that anybody is planning anything against Muslims or Christians. No; it is the issue of leadership and I have said many times that let’s have confidence in leadership that within the next few months something will change.”

They serve the same masters who determine which empower the servants unequally.

"One man carry gun give young boys.
Say make them shoot anyone wey make noise.
Then him send them to go carry ballot boxes.
But on their way back, they meet the police force.
The boys dey shoot, the police dey respond.
But the level of the fire no dey correspond.
Before you know, them drop like four police men.
Say people wey send police na em send them.
And that's the kind of thing they have turned our country into,
Making life so hard for me and you..."

An excerpt from the lyrics of "It's ok" by Ruffcoin Nwa Aba.

No doubt

Isn't it

The bandits are always a step ahead but the defenceless citizens aren't.
This country is a huge joke as life means little or nothing here.
I still can't imagine some terrorists killing Americans day in, day out on American soil.

That's because they are working for ppl in the government

Because they are not fulani herdsmen but members of our security men or atleast sponsored by people in government like ex military generals, people in high places.
What do the Bandits want?
Unlike boko haram we don't know what the Bandits want, they are simply used to bully government and the international community for money or change in policy direction.

Let Tinubu investigate those that used the CBN as their private bursary.

The are ahead of the security agents because they are the real government, the use the budgets judiciously to carry out their agendas, but humongous security budgets no dey really go to the required destination

Bandits smiling and smoking Aspen when reading this update.

😂

The security men must be their accomplice in crime so to say ..they know what we don't know and God will judge them for the blood the criminals are shedding ..
