Shiroro youths cry out to Gov Bello as bandits take over Niger community
The youths through their leader, Bello Ibrahim of Concerned Shiroro Youths, told newsmen in Minna that the people of the area can no longer fold their hands and watch the government take decisions that cannot guarantee the needed safety and security of the people.
The angry youths said, “The continued silence over the atrocities being perpetrated by criminals in the face of government inaction could be misconstrued as tacit approval. We can’t afford to be too complacent and place heavy reliance on the Government as it dishes out all sorts of bogus promises laced with a plethora of assurance. It is highly risky, hence our public outcry.”
“Since this trouble began, hundreds of millions of naira have been stolen or paid in ransom, economic and social potentials of Shiroro Local Government have crippled. Means of livelihood destroyed and thousands of citizens displaced. Our survival as a people is bleak and uncertain.”
