Zamfara killings: Nollywood celebrities name those behind banditry, kidnapping in North West
Led by veteran Nollywood actor, Larry Koldsweat, the celebrities under the auspices of Human Rights Monitoring group alleged that those mentioned were behind the killings in Zamfara and the North West.
Koldsweat urged Nigerians to rise up against politicians that were sponsoring those killings all over Zamfara State with a firm demand that they stop it now. “Our shock as a nation upon finding out about this pillaging of Zamfara and neighbouring communities should have been a red card for the people benefitting from this evil to call it quits and scamper away like the criminals that they are.
“The trend we have seen is that they are now exporting their security threat to other parts of the country in a desperate bid to prevent the full scale of their atrocity in Zamfara from coming under scrutiny. They have moved into Katsina state and we are aware that they have design on other states unless they are decisively stopped by security agencies.
“The high-ups that have been identified include serving and former Governors of Zamfara state, serving and former high ranking cabinet officials of Zamfara state and federal appointees such as Ministers, Deputy Governors and their allies. The traditional rulers and a sprinkling of religious leaders are, tragically, also part of the axis of evil.
