The Zamfara State Commissioner Of Police, Mr
Usman Nagogo has lamented that cattle sellers and Fulani people are yet to
adhere to the peace accord and reconciliation initiatives by the state
government.
Addressing cattle sellers and market leaders at
the state police command in Gusau, the state capital, the commissioner said
that Fulani people could not be using reprisal attacks by killing innocent
citizens who have committed no crime to warrant death.
“We have been doing all we could to ensure
relative peace in the state but some people are bent on sabotaging all our
efforts,” he said.
According to him, the security agencies did not
want to use fire for fire operation, hence they resorted to peaceful
negotiations for bandits to have a second thought.
Nagogo urged the Fulani leaders, cattle sellers
as well as the market leaders to educate their members as a way of embracing
peace and ensuring respect for the peace accord and reconciliation initiated by
the state government.
“We would not want the security agencies to be
pushed to the wall but if we are pushed to the wall, we will use force of arms
and we will have no alternative than to react negatively because we were
trained” the police boss lamented.
“There is nowhere in the whole world where
development and progress can reign without relative peace ”
He, however, cautioned the leaders groups to help
both the security agencies and the government to as a matter of necessity
consolidate on the achieved peace being enjoyed in the state.
Meanwhile, the
Fulani leaders, market leaders and cattle sellers agreed to give their members
sound education in order to ensure peaceful and harmonious living.
