The Emir of Anka in Zamfara State, Alhaji Attahiru Ahmad, has appealed to the state government to allow people of the state to carry arms and defend themselves against banditry.

Attahiru, who paid a condolence visit to the Emir of Kaura-Namoda, who was attacked by bandits last week said, “Since the bandits refused to surrender, the government should allow everyone to carry weapons for self-defence.”

He said the peace accord and reconciliation process initiated by Governor Bello Matawalle would not end banditry in the state, because the bandits would never give up.


Attahiru, who is the Chairman of the state Council of Chiefs, said, “One cannot make peace with people who are not ready to embrace peace and reconciliation as initiated by the government.

“No single individual in this world is above the power of the government, unless the government does not want to act.”

He also urged government at all levels to give security operatives the chance to deal with the bandits, stressing that security operatives could handle the situation if given the chance and weapons.

‌

Recall that the Emir of Kaura-Namoda, Alhaji Sanusi Muhammad, was attacked along the Zaria-Gusau Road on Thursday last week when he was returning to the state from Abuja and eight persons in his convoy were killed.

Dear Emir,

Are you afraid to tell the C in C about his incompetence in handling security issues?

E soro soke sir

Ineptitude everywhere

It seems this northerners are yet to learn from the past

Call for personal Arms by citizens is a loud indication of failed security in the country.

Tell your brother in the rock he has failed woefully!

I sincerely subscribe

Ok

Thank God sey northerners too dey hear am tata - tata

The beast you created will one day consume you all. The northern elite created a monster that will consume not just them but everyone in Nigeria. We can only hope that the next president can sorr out the mess created by Buhari and his cohort.

Okay

Hmmm

Two wrongs don't make a right. Find a way to end banditry not exposing innocent people to banditry. you don't solve a problem by creating more problems

That is uncivil. The mantle of security of lives and properties rests on the government not on the citizens

This f**king bonehead just realised the importance of this cos it happened to one of them? Why I'm always of the opinion that until Boko Haram kill one of these mongs in govt nothing is going to be done about that group.

ZAMFARA GOVERNMENT SHOULD CONSTITUTE AN S.P.S.C, STATE POLICY SERVICES COUNCIL IMMEDIATELY MADE UP OF

1, TWO TRADITIONAL RULERS FROM EACH LOCAL GOVERNMENT OF ZAMFARA TO BE RESPONSIBLE FOR ALL SECURITY SERVICES OF THE STATE AND

2, TWO ZAMFARA STATE INDIGENE SENIOR ADVOCATES OF NIGERIA (SAN) TO SERVE AS SECRETARY ONLY TO S.P.S.C
