Zamfara killings: Emir gives Buhari govt fresh demand
Zamfara Council of Chiefs has requested the Federal Government to set up a panel of enquiry to establish and punish those behind banditry in the state.
“We as a people will not forgive the actions of these people which has led to the killing and displacement of thousands of innocent citizens whose sources of livelihood have also been completely destroyed. The emir lauded some of the measures put in place against the bandits such as cutting their food and fuel supplies and added that the action had seriously frustrated the operations of the bandits.
“If GSM network for the whole state is blocked for between three and six months, l can assure you that it will go a long way because even informers can no longer disclose the movement of security personnel to the bandits.’’

He said it was not only the traditional rulers in Zamfara that were aiding the bandits but even those in other parts of the North. But we kept quiet because he is our own. Go to his local government area and see what is happening. So, as a defence minister, he should have relocated there.”
