Recall that recently, the military made significant gains against bandits in the North-west, killing daredevil bandit leader, Halilu Sububu. Before he met his Waterloo, Mr Sububu, who enjoyed wide illicit connections and funding, had been kidnapping, killing, and terrorising citizens in Zamfara, Sokoto, Niger and Katsina states as well as other parts of the North-West zone. His killing alongside 30 other bandits last week was greeted with jubilations in Zamfara and her neighbouring states.
Mr Lawal said that “there was no N4 million in the state treasury” when he took over as governor in May last year adding that he inherited a backlog of salary arrears, some dating as far back as three years. On alleged plans by the state government to negotiate with the bandits, the governor said his government has never negotiated with bandits and has no plan to do so. “My stand has always been no negotiation with bandits…From little understanding I have about warfare, you can only negotiate successfully from the position of strength,” not now when the criminals are doing their own propaganda to deceive the people.
