Gumi said these as The PUNCH learnt that at least 200 residents of Zamfara State had been killed in violent attacks despite an order by the President, MajorGeneral Muhammadu Buhari , declaring a ‘no-fly-zone’ over the state’s airspace. “How can these big weapons cross our borders and get into the forest without the cooperation of some bad elements of the security operatives assisting them? It is not possible.
“But, have you for once gone to their own sides and see all sorts of atrocities that are also committed against them?” he asked. “It is very unfortunate that in the 21st century because of the fracture in our governmental structure people have turned to tribalism or religion originality to express their grievances,” he lamented.
The Director of Army Public Relations, Onyema Nwachukwu, in a statement on Wednesday described the claim by the cleric as a calculated attempt to undermine the sacrifices of the troops aimed at restoring peace in the country.
He added, “While the NA will not attempt to excuse the possibility of black sheep amongst its fold, it must be stated unambiguously that it will not condone any form of sabotage or aiding and assisting the enemy by any personnel, as provisions for dealing decisively with such acts are crystallised in Section 45 of the Armed Forces Act CAP A 20 Laws of the Federation of Nigeria 2004.
The National Security Adviser, BabaganaMonguno, had on March 2, 2021, conveyed the President’s no-fly-order which was done in a bid to end banditry in the gold-rich state. The traditional rulers in the state told service chiefs, who visited the state, that there were over 30,000 bandits in Zamfara forests, a number that far outweighs the less than 10,000 troops deployed in the state to tackle insecurity.
Some of the bandits were also reported to have been killed by the military. The Nigerian Army said on May 10 that its troops killed 48 bandits operating across different camps in the Maru local government area of the state.
Woa 😳😳😳
The NigeriaGov knows the bandits but will rather send troops to the East. The diversion is real, tribalism, religion and nepotism is all Buhari has to offer.
'Terrorism is a business and so many people are involved'. That's true because he is one of the middle men. Also, it is not a lie in Nigeria to say that security agents collude with criminals. That's very true.
