Ex-IGP heads panel to proffer solution to banditry in Zamfara
The committee was also saddled with the responsibility to investigate the violent uprising that was carried out against the suspended Emir of Maru, Alhaji Abubakar Ibrahim, who was some weeks back suspended for alleged involvement with bandits.He said the idea of constituting such a high-powered committee was borne out of his administration’s desire to get to the root cause of the lingering security challenges that have bedeviled the state for a long period of time.
He added that the corporate existence of the state has been at stake as people no longer sleep with their two eyes closed.According to him, farming, which is the state’s mainstay, and other economic activities are no longer safe to undertake because of the activities of armed bandits. The nine-member committee also include Senator Saidu Mohammed Dansadau, Dr. Sani Abdullahi Shinkafi , Justice Nasiru Gummi, Alhaji Mamman Anka, Alhaji Mamuda Maradun and Alhaji Bawa Ibrahim.
In his acceptance speech, Abubakar said their appointment was a great honour, promising to carry out the committee assignment diligently.
