A public commentator in Zamfara State, Buhari Abubakar, has advised both the federal and state governments to, as a matter of urgency, tackle the menace of insecurity in the State.
Abubakar, who lamented that banditry was waxing stronger than before, explained that nobody should pretend that all is well in the State, because according to him, residents have not been sleeping with their two eyes closed for over a decade.
The terrorists formed their own government in these areas and decide what happens and what should be done in the communities they control, he further lamented.
According to him, There is no doubt that Zamfara State has become a colony of banditry in the whole country. The rate of merciless killings, kidnappings, and rape has become very uncontrollable in the State.
Records have clearly indicated that there are thousands of widows and orphans are roaming the streets aimlessly due to banditry that killed their husbands and fathers, thereby increasing the rate of almajiris.
Abubakar further explained that the federal and State governments cannot stop these merciless killings, kidnappings, and rapes if drastic measures are not taken, pointing out that there are influential people behind these dastard acts, noting that the terrorists are not operating alone.
