Niger State Governor, Abubakar Bello, briefs State House correspondents at the Aso Villa in Abuja on January 18, 2022.Residents of some communities in Niger have continued to pay levies to terrorists in exchange for protection against attacks on their settlements, authorities in the state have said.
Addressing State House correspondents at the end of the meeting with the President, he said the state government has appealed to the residents of the affected communities not to pay any money to the terrorists.“We still have some communities where ransoms are being collected,” the governor said. “We will try to discourage them from paying such ransoms because even when they pay ransoms, it doesn’t stop bandits from attacking them again.
The governor, however, called for the massive recruitment of security personnel and deployment to the state in order to bring the situation under control. Governor Bello also urged states sharing borders with Niger, including Kebbi and Kaduna to collaborate with his administration to ensure sustainability in the fight against criminals in their domains.
Terrorists. T-E-R-R-O-R-I-S-TS! Call them what they hey are. If Gov Bello cannot address them rightly, how does he laments about communities succumbing to levies? Oya resign if the job too hard for you.
Hearing this makes me cry.
This is unbelievable, meaning they're not unknown.
Governor without visions and planning
And he is still collecting huge monthly security vote as the Governor of the State, in clear violation of his constitutional responsibility to provide security and welfare of people as his primary duty according to Nigeria's 1999 Constitution as amended?
