Zamfara banditry: Blame Yansakai groups, not Fulani people – State govt
The commissioner disclosed this during an exclusive interview with DAILY POST in his office in Gusau, the state capital, pointing out that there is no smoke without fire.
He said that the recent attack in Dansadau axis that killed fifteen persons and injured many was a reprisal attack, saying that one of the Yansakai groups attacked two Fulani men killing one while the other escaped which he said that their motorcycles were collected from them. According to the commissioner, the Fulani people cannot attack anybody if they were not attacked, stressing that the Yansakai groups still remain the teething problem in the state as far as banditry is concerned.
The commissioner said that the current spate of insurgency that has prevailed in the state for almost a decade has reduced the state to a mere rural state as commerce and agricultural activities are almost moving in the lowest ebb in the state.
