A former governor of Bauchi State, Isa Yuguda, on Tuesday said the challenges of banditry in the North West of Nigeria might have an international dimension.
According to him, Nigeria is a big country with a population growth from 60 million in the 1960s to about 200 million at present, hinging the frequent farmer/herdsmen clashes on competition for land. “All those cattle routes that were established by the British colonialists have been closed down because of human habitations; even the grazing reserves have been taken over by farmlands as population keeps growing.
“It cannot fully be a local problem; it could be an international problem, probably migration from somewhere.“Criminal elements from all other parts of Africa could have assembled and said ‘look, let us go to a richer country like Nigeria and ravage them and seize everything that they have’. The former governor, who said insecurity in Nigeria did not start with the Buhari-led administration, added that Boko Haram started in Bauchi “but was contained by the Grace of God.”
