Police in Zamfara State has
refuted the claim by the Peoples Democratic Party, PDP, and its presidential
candidate in the 2019 election that bandits attacked their witnesses travelling
to Abuja to testify against President Muhammadu Buhari and the All Progressives
Congress, APC, at the Presidential Election Tribunal.
The State Police command said
nothing of such was brought to its knowledge.
PDP and Atiku had told the
Tribunal on Friday that their witnesses were attacked by bandits in Zamfara
state, forcing the court to adjourn proceedings.
However, in a statement by the
Spokesperson of the command SP Muhammad Shehu, he said “It is pertinent to
categorically state that as far the crime statistics of Zamfara state is
concerned, there was no any attack by bandits either on villages or on any person
or group of persons traveling on any highway in the state.
“Since the inception of the
ongoing peace and dialogue initiative in the the state, attacks, kidnapping and
other heinous crime in the state have been reduced drastically to about 98
percent, a situation that has restored peace and stability in the state.
“Therefore, the command wishes to
refute the entire story as misleading and a calculated attempt to undermine the
current effort of both the state government and the police to bring lasting
peace for social and economic development in the state.”
