Arewa Forum Calls For Shinkafi’s Arrest, Investigation On Security Threat by Ojimaojo11(op): 6:36am On Dec 06, 2025
Arewa Integrity and Leadership Forum has raised alarm over a viral video in which Wamban Shinkafi claimed he knows the identities and hideouts of bandit leaders terrorising Zamfara.

Speaking on behalf of the Forum, its Secretary, Yusuf Ilyasu Usman, described the revelations as dangerous, shocking and deeply suspicious.

He said Shinkafi’s bold declaration that he has the names of bandits, knows their operational zones and has held private meetings with them raises troubling questions.

The Forum wondered how an ordinary political actor could possess sensitive information that security agencies have struggled for years to obtain.

Usman warned that such familiarity with violent criminals suggests possible alliances or motives that must not be ignored while innocent citizens face daily threats of kidnapping and attacks.

He said it was unacceptable for anyone to boast about knowing the exact hideouts of killers and still move freely while granting interviews as though he were a concerned patriot.

According to him, no responsible nation allows an individual claiming access to violent criminals to remain without interrogation.

The Forum therefore urged the Department of State Services, National Intelligence Agency and the Nigeria Police Force to immediately arrest and interrogate Shinkafi.

It argued that anyone with knowledge of the identities, hideouts and strategies of murderers must be questioned without delay, as such information is far from ordinary.

They warned that failure to act would send a dangerous message that individuals can associate with criminals causing widespread suffering while the state looks away.

The Forum insisted that people of Zamfara deserve clarity and protection, and security agencies must determine whether Shinkafi’s comments suggest collaboration, sponsorship or direct involvement.

It concluded by calling on the DSS, NIA and Police to treat the matter as a national security emergency, adding that no one who claims to know where killers hide should remain free until the truth is fully established.

You people are pretending that you don’t know them too? GUMI has been saying that also. Una never arrest am. Our security architecture is proliferated and the North is spoon feeding banditry and criminality.

These people are always defensive. Are they behind the bandits? There group should be proscribed or labelled a terrorist group or at least placed under serious watch.

What about Gumi? He should be arrested too.

I will soon invest in drones. Because I find it satisfying. Having a loitering drone hang above terrorists watching their every move. Would be great to create a YouTube channel to have it streamed live. That would make more money that big brother Naija.

The terrorists are not in hiding. They conduct press briefings on a regular basis, host extravagant weddings, meet regularly with government officials etc.


These group is worried that someone wants to talk

Why is DSS slow in arresting northerners who are hobnobbing and partnering with terrorists, anyone who said they know bandits whereabouts should be invited by security operatives. Our security is not working efficiently.

Are you just waking up or you want to settle scores with him?

Your sheikh Gumi that has been terrorist advocate for almost a decade had never been called out by any group in the North.
Although you have a point, but selective justice has brought Nigeria to it's current knees.
We need wholistic approach to issues biko

Both Shinkafi, Gumi and this useless organization are terrorists.

Won't they shoot down the drones if they hover above them?

I think getting real time satellite images of their activities would be better, except the drone is stealth anyways.

Hypocrisy of the highest order.Sheik Gumi was a known terrorist and bandits sympathiser who visited and dine with the bandit,no Northerners call for his arrest and prosecution.I believe it federal govt should make an attempt to arrest Gumi,there will be uproar in the North..Now who is deceiving the Northerners?

I wanted to laugh at your post until I saw "invest". To get a drone powerful enough to do what you want will require a substantial investment.
Re: Arewa Forum Calls For Shinkafi’s Arrest, Investigation On Security Threat by oluwaseyi0: 9:34am On Dec 06, 2025
So someone says he knows hideout of Islamic terrorist instead of calling for collaboration with him to flush out the terrorists you are calling for his arrest?
Truly some northern elements didn't islamic terrorism to end
Re: Arewa Forum Calls For Shinkafi’s Arrest, Investigation On Security Threat by Staccato001: 9:47am On Dec 06, 2025
They should encourage him to speak up and not threaten his arrest on the guise of calling Police. Are they scared he knows something and want to rat out?
Re: Arewa Forum Calls For Shinkafi’s Arrest, Investigation On Security Threat by Berankis: 9:48am On Dec 06, 2025
This Arewa forum is behind the terrorism going on the North. They always oppose anything against bandits and terrorists in the North.

And did you ever called for Gumi's arrest despite several videos and pictures proving Gumi actually met with bandits terrorists? Double standard and hypocrisy of the highest order.
it is clear the north knows all these bandits and their sponsors. Painful deaths to all killers of the innocent.

Nigeria shall be great again.



Tinubu, a bad man with good intentions
