Zamfara State Commissioner of Police, Muhammad Shehu Dalinja, has confirmed the killing of five police officers and two soldiers by ravaging bandits in Tsafe Local Government Area of the state.

He said that the bandits ambushed the security operatives along Gusau-Funtua road, adding that the terrorists blocked the highway.

“Five police officers and two soldiers were killed while repelling the bandits’ attack on the highway on Thursday,” he said.

According to the state police boss, the bandits planned to attack a construction company working along the highway.

Dalinja explained that joint security forces of the police and the soldiers mobilized to the scene, stressing that the bandits had laid an ambush and opened fire on them.

“The aim of the bandits was to penetrate into the premises of Setraco Construction Company to kidnap some staff of Setraco Company. When we got the information, we immediately deployed our operatives to the scene, not knowing that they had laid an ambush on the road.

“On their way, they met heavy resistance from the bandits. They opened fire, exchanged gunfire, and in the process, we lost some army personnel and police personnel in the battle.”

Flashback: How Bola Tinubu spoke highly of Buhari in 2015, named PDP ‘Poverty Development Party

National leader of the ruling All Progressives Congress, APC, Bola Tinubu had during the presidential campaign in 2015, referred to President Muhammadu Buhari as the only solution for the security and economic challenges facing Nigeria.

During a mega presidential rally, the former governor of Lagos State recalled how some powerful nations in the world returned to army generals when they were challenged, saying “Major General Buhari would revive Nigeria’s economy”.

He named the current opposition People’s Democratic Party, PDP as the “Poverty Development Party saying they had nothing to offer.

His words at the time were; “Every nation has a period of their own challenges, when America was challenged, they turned to one great man, their ex-military general, General Eisenhower. When the French were challenged, they turned to their general, Charles de Gaulle.

“When Britain was challenged, they turned to their general. Today, Nigeria is economically and physically challenged so we turn to General Muhammadu Buhari. He is the right man for the job. If you talk about military experience, he has it abundantly, he has courage, simplicity, he has it abundantly.

“If you talk about great determination, a combination of vision and ability to perform, honesty and integrity, he has it abundantly.

“I laugh when the incapable government, ‘Poverty Development Party’ PDP were talking. They have nothing again to say, they now want to question the qualifications of General Buhari and look for his certificate”.

Following the manifestos in 2015 which projected the APC presidential candidate as a ‘saviour’, Buhari defeated the then incumbent president, Goodluck Ebele Jonathan with Nigerians expecting a total change in security and economy.

This wouldn't trend because it didn't happen in the southeast or south south (Okukuama community), Nigerians are just deceiving themselves if they think this country would make any meaningful headway either now or in the future. A nation built on injustice,greed, corruption and intimidation can't make headway.
