Kabir Marafa, a former senator representing Zamfara central,
says those “politicising” the country’s challenges should be investigated.
In a statement by his media office on Friday, Marafa said
those perpetrating violence must be treated as criminals whether they are
politicians or not.
“It is high time the security agencies begin to investigate
the politicisation of the security challenges bedevilling the country in
general,” the statement reads.
“We, thereby, urge those who have been infected by the 2023
virus to stop spreading falsehood and allow the security agencies to do their
job.
“They cannot double
as politicians and mouthpieces of some anonymous security personnel who do not
want their names in print media. Criminals should be treated as criminals
regardless of whose jersey or uniform they wear.”
The former lawmaker said his reported link to one
Abdulmuminu Moossa, a citizen of Chad Republic who has been arrested by the
security agencies, is false.
“Preliminary investigation has revealed that the report was
concocted and planted by the foot soldiers of some disgruntled APC leaders who
are envious of the growing popularity of the senator,” the statement reads.
“Their machinations
cannot stop what Almighty Allah has ordained.
“It is on record that Senator Marafa was the first to raise
the issue of banditry, at its infancy, on the floor of the Nigerian senate,
drawing the attention of the federal government and the global community to the
activities of the criminals.”
