Crime › Saharareporter:Soldier, Girlfriend Supplying Ammunition, Uniforms To Bandits by santakris(op): 3:37pm On Mar 05, 2021*. Modified: 4:35pm On Mar 05, 2021 |
The Zamfara State Government says a Nigerian soldier and his girlfriend have been arrested for supplying ammunition and military uniforms to armed bandits in the state. The governor of the state, Bello Matawalle, represented by his deputy chief of staff, Bashir Maru, disclosed this at a press conference on Friday. He said the soldier and his girlfriend were arrested by the military through community-driven intelligence. Bandits terrorising the state are often seen in military fatigues. “The military recently arrested an army officer and his girlfriend who were engaged in assisting bandits with military uniforms and ammunition in active connivance with other saboteurs. This arrest was only made possible through community-driven intelligence,” he said. “While the state government awaits the action the military will take on this matter and make an official statement, the development has further proved the position of Governor Bello Mohammed that unless the fight against banditry is cleansed of bad eggs and saboteurs, we may not record the desired success in the fight. “Let me use this medium to salute the courage and patriotism of the individual who came forward with information that led to the arrest of these traitors. Our gratitude knows no bounds.” Farming and herding communities in Zamfara and the wider region have long been terrorised by gangs who raid villages, stealing cattle and kidnapping residents for ransom. Few days ago, 279 students of Government Girls Secondary School, Jangebe in the Talata Mafara Local Government Area of the state were abducted. The schoolgirls were released some days later. students of Government Girls Secondary School, Jangebe in the Talata Mafara Local Government Area of the state were abducted. The schoolgirls were released some days later. The gunmen were said to have arrived at the school around 1am and loaded the girls in buses. http://saharareporters.com/2021/03/05/nigerian-soldier-girlfriend-supplying-ammunition-uniforms-bandits-arrested-zamfara |

What is the difference between kidnappers and bandits? These guys are terrorists. Flush them out with maximum force.
The way government is handling this matter may encourage more people to join this banditry business if care is not taken. |

bilms: This article was written over a year ago, detailing the various road projects.
Over 150 ongoing road projects in Kwara State almost at no cost
By Abdulrazaq Hamzat
Kwara Must Change, a Pro-Democracy group has been following very keenly, the pace of development in Kwara State and in the course of this engagement across the state, the group has come to understand that the Kwara State government is currently executing more than 150 road projects across the state, some of which are about to commence, others are ongoing or completed, either construction or rehabilitation.
Ordinarily, with the Kwara of yesterday that we used to know, this figure seems highly exaggerated and unreal, but to be honest with you, the figure is very real.
While it is true that Kwara Must Change has not been to all the over 150 projects, it is also true that it has been to several of the ongoing projects and based on available records, we can say that indeed, Kwara State is executing more than 150 road projects across the 16 local government areas of the state.
After the publication of an article titled ‘’3 hours with Governor Abdulrahman Abdulrazaq’’ where I echoed in passing, the discovery of Kwara Must Change, about the over 150 ongoing road projects being executed in the state, a couple of people had reached out to me, asking to know more about the projects.
While some people are probing the claim to be able to criticize it, rightly or wrongly, others are asking because they really want to know, so as to follow the pace of development in the state with all sense of responsibility.
I have therefore penned down this opinion to provide some context to the claim, while those who need specific details can reach out to appropriate authorities.
*Kwara North* In Kwara North for example, particularly in Baruten Local Government, several road projects are either ongoing , in the pipeline or already completed, among which include, Market junction road, Emir Palace road, Gwanara road, Okuta-Kenu- Gwanara road, Ilesha Baruba road, Maigida Baanu road and many others.
In Edu local government, we have the secretariat road Lafiagi, Tswata Bodzo road, Tsonga road, Tsaragi Market road, Batakpan box culvert, Lafiagi Bacita road, Ahmadu bello way, Bacita road, Zaria road and many others.
Moving on to Mooro Local Government, we have the Pepsi road, Labour camp road, Jebba road, Sabo road, Bode Saadu road, Taiwo road, Station road, Shao Malete road, Shao township road, Oke Oyi Lanwa road, Lanwa Oloru road and many others.
In Kaiama Local government, Bode Saadu-Kaiama road is ongoing. Then we have Kaiama-Kosubosu road, Kaiama to Chainage road, Kaiama general hospital road and several others. In Patigi on the other hand, the Emir’s palace road is ongoing, along with several others.
*Kwara South* When you go to Kwara South, particularly in Offa local government, several roads are under construction, rehabilitation or about to commence, among which include, Popo road, Omolola Olagunju road, Secretariat road, Taiwo road, Offa Ojoku road, Federal Polytechnics Offa road and several others.
In Irepodun Local Government, we have the Museum road in Esie, Taiwo road in Omu Aran, Oro-Esie- Arandun road, Omuaran-Oro ago road, College of Education, Oro road and several others.
Moving on to Oyun Local Government, we have the Town hall station road, African School road to Oyan and Erin ile road.
Others include, Oke Oyan bridge, Oro Ago- Oke Oyan road, Oke Oyan- Owakajola road and others.
In Ifelodun Local government, Oro Ago- Oyate road, Oro Ago-Owa Kajola-Owu fall road, Ajasse Igbaja- Yaru- Okeode road, Kabba-Kajola- Alomiliya- Ogbondoroko road, Shagbe- Babanla -Oreke road, Abayan Ora road, Shagbe Ologomo Bisewa-Zambufu road and others.
When you get to Oke Ero Local Government, Ilofa - Imode road is there, Aiyedun Township road is there, Osi- Obbo Aiyegunle road is there, Odo Owa- Erinmope road is there and several others.
In Isin Local government, Owode-Ofaro- Afin- Ikosun- Alabe- Oreke road, Oke Onigbin, Isanlu Isin road, Isanlu isin -Owa Onire-Owu fall road.
We also have that of Osi township road in Ekiti local government and others.
*Kwara Central* Coming back to Kwara Central, we have the Rehabilitation of vandalized Cargo terminal at Ilorin International Airport, Internal road of College of Arabic and Islamic legal studies (CAILS), Odota- Lao road, Sango-Akerebiata road, Ganmo road rehabilitation, Gaa Akanbi, Agbabiaka road, Kilanko Michael Imodu road, Area court center Igboro road, Tanke, overcomers eastern reservoir network road, Culvert at Okesuna primary school, Coca cola road, Otte eroded portion of federal road, Interlock at Koro Afoju and several others.
These are just the few that can be captured here.
It is important to note that, a significant portion of these projects are being handled by local contractors, which is a deliberate policy by government to encourage indigenous contractors.
With this policy, the Kwara State government is killing three birds with just one stone.
Firstly, government is providing road infrastructure to make the transportation of goods and services easy.
Secondly, it is creating jobs, through the engagement of local contractors, aswell as increasing their capacity to compete at the national level.
And finally, it is doing the above two at no cost to the state's economy, since the larger chunk of the cost is still retained here, thereby stimulating the economy.
In other words, Kwara State government gives out the job, the jobs get done, yet Kwara State economy still retains the cash.
