“I have a farm in Kaduna, but I can’t go there because of bandits”

Attahiru Bafarawa, a former Governor of Sokoto State, expressed deep concern over the rampant activities of bandits in the northern region of Nigeria.

Speaking out amidst the escalating food prices, Bafarawa painted a grim picture of the plight of farmers who are forced to seek permission from bandits before tending to their lands, a situation that has become all too common. “The maize I produced that time is in commercial quantity that, I used part of it for my flour mill which is also out of production. The issue of insecurity is behind the high cost of food items because many farmers have been displaced.”

Despite previously warning the Federal Government about the looming food insecurity, Bafarawa expressed regret that his advice went unheeded.
