Bandits in Zamfara State are still wreaking havoc despite
the ongoing Nigerian military large-scale operation.
The people of the state are enduring the shutdown of network
services the federal government ordered over a month ago.
The Nigerian Communications Commission (NCC) issued the directive
targeted at blocking criminals from communicating and receiving arms and
ammunition.
In the latest attack, at least 18 villagers were murdered by
scores of the marauders.
The bandits invaded Kurya Madaro, a ward in Kaura Namoda
Local Government Area, with motorcycles.
Houses, shops as well as 15 vehicles, including a police
patrol van, were set on fire. The victims have been buried.
DAILY POST gathered that the military is restrategizing to
forestall further successful enemy attacks.
Yet, the Nigerian government is insisting that the names of
terror financiers will not be made public.
In his reaction, Bishop Matthew Hassan Kukah, head of
Catholic Diocese of Sokoto, dared President Muhammadu Buhari to reveal the
names of Boko Haram sponsors.
“The federal government has told us it is not ready to
publicise the names of those funding Boko Haram. We cannot go on like this.
Questioning existential threats to humanity is the apostolate that we Priests
are called to.
“We know that this road is dangerous, it is rocky, it is
treacherous, it takes lives, but it is all too familiar. The bodies and the
emotions of men and women are irretrievably broken.
“Our people, fleeing their homes after over ten years, have
now turned refugee camps into their habitats. Our identity as citizens is being
traded for the status of migrants and refugees”, the revered cleric lamented.
