GOVERNOR SANI BELLO REGRETS KILLING OF DISTRICT HEAD OF KUSHERKI, 9 VIGILANTES IN MUNYA AND ABDUCTION OF PEOPLE BY BANDITS IN NIGER STATE

Governor Abubakar Sani Bello of Niger State has expressed outrage at the recent killing of the Village Head of Kusherki in Rafi Local Government Area Mas'ud Abubakar and abduction of his wife, children and some others by Armed Bandits.

A similar attack took place at Kachuae under Munya local government area where nine vigilante were killed and twenty three (23) abducted.

The Governor, in a statement, said the increasing activities of kidnappers and Bandits in the state is becoming a nightmare to the people.

Governor Sani Bello described as callous and regrettable, the murder of the traditional title holder and numerous others challenging the security agencies to intensify their search to 'fish-out' and ensure that the perpetrators of such heinous acts are brought to justice.

"The situation, particularly in the last 72 hours, has become regrettably alarming! While efforts are ongoing to secure the release of the abducted NSTA passengers, we heard that of Kusherki and Kachuae. We are witnessing these attacks now, almost, on daily basis and it is worrisome", the statement said.

The Governor said the state government will not be deterred nor discouraged by the recent turn of events stressing that the existing collective resolve of government, security agencies and the people must be sustained to checkmate the situation.

He expressed regret that the infiltrating bandits are closely collaborating with some insidious Informants within the communities to attack them and tasked the people to provide more intelligence to the security agencies to isolate the informants in order to eliminate the bandits.

Again, the statement seeks more Federal Government's intervention to tackle the rampaging menace noting that banditry is becoming a situation of war in the state, hence the need for a fresh, sustainable and multidimensional strategy that will neutralize both the bandits and their informants.

Niger State has witnessed the influx of Armed Bandits in recent times, making sporadic attacks at villages, maiming, killing and abducting people with reckless abandon in some local government areas of the state.

Ma, Niger State governor needs to be at the top of the security situation in the state. Niger State has become a safe haven for kidnappers! The hostage taking of the NSTA bus passengers from Kontagora enroute to Minna is one among many cases of killings and kidnapping particularly by Fulani herdsmen.
It's high time Niger State governor together with Emirs sit down and find lasting solution to this problem. Community policing must be given upmost priority. Equip the local hunters across the state because these know the terrain and hideout in the forest far better than a non-resident military man.
The issue of Herdsmen must be tackle with all sincerity and not seeing them as our brothers. The practice of Fulani wandering from place to place(open grazing) is obsolete and antithtical to peace! Nomadic farming was part of every tribe way of life some centuries ago, but such practice can't take place now due to some reasons: population growth, shortage of land open grazing land, non answerable to any body, committing crime at night and move on to the next state through the thick of forest etc. Cattle rearing is a business and such the proprietor must be ready to fend for their cattle.
Nomadism makes it so easy for Fulanis to commit crime and run away!
