Group slams Zamfara Governor over increasing insecurity, terrorist attacks


The Northern Emancipation Network has lamented that the people of Zamfara State are dying under the dictates of killers in the last three weeks while the Governor, Dauda Lawal allegedly remains in Abuja.


The group in a statement issued Monday by its Secretary General, Sulaiman Abbah, called on the Governor to leave Abuja and return to the state to face governance.


The group alleged that the governor does not appear interested in seeking answers to the challenges of security to which the state was exposed, adding that the people continue to live and die under the dictates of killers, kidnappers, rapists and sundry criminal groups that have in recent times, deprived them of the rights to live in peace and security.


It noted that killers and other criminals appear to have sensed a paralysing vacuum at the highest levels of leadership in the State since the inception of the new government, saying they have grown in confidence and acquired more competence in subverting the State and people’s security.


The group claimed that the state is once again becoming a haven for different terrorist groups, downplaying the description of criminal elements in the region as bandits.


The group added: “The people of Zamfara have shed enough tears and blood in the last three weeks without an appropriate response from those with responsibilities to protect them.”


“Villages are being emptied as hundreds of people, due to constant attacks, are relocating to the already congested urban areas of the state and deepening poverty.


“For the very first time ever, the popular Shinkafi market had been completely overrun by criminal attackers and all activities crippled and deserted.”


The group urged the governor to end his stay in Abuja and return to work for the security of the people who elected and entrusted their lives and future to his care.
