Shehu Sani, the lawmaker
representing Kaduna central senatorial district in the National Assembly, has
reacted to the claims by the Governor of Zamfara State, Abdulazeez Yari that
bandits are better armed than the military.
Sani, who lost the bid to retain
the Kaduna Central seat in the Senate to the All Progressives Congress
candidate, Uba Sani said the disclosure was an embarrassment to the government
in power.
Recall that Gov.
Yari, on Tuesday in Abuja while speaking with the State House correspondents
after he had updated President Muhammadu Buhari on the socio-political and
security developments in the state, said bandits in the state were better
equipped.
He raised the alarm over the
stockpiling of arms by bandits operating in the state.
The Governor said: “I have told
my people that dialogue will no longer take place during my time because I have
done that three times, but it did not work.
“This is in the sense that we
know their capacity.
“For instance, during the first
dialogue, they invited some of our team, army, DSS, police, and my chief
security officer as well as some representatives of traditional rulers and we
have seen what they have.
“They are in control of the kind
of weapons that the security command in Zamfara does not have.
“In one armoury alone, they have
more than 500 AK 47 rifles; we saw it.”
Shehu Sani tweet on Wednesday:
“For a Governor from the ruling party & the chair of the Governors forum to
have openly revealed that Bandits are better armed than our military, &
without a counter from the FG, needs no further comment on the security
situation in the country & the shamelessness of the situation.”
