The Democracy Watch Initiative (DWI) has called on the Nigerian Government to declare a state of emergency in Zamfara State over the recent escalation of bandit attacks and kidnappings resulting in deaths and displacement of several communities. DWI made this known through its Spokesman, Sanusi Ali Mohammed, in a press conference in Abuja, noting that the call became necessary given the regrettably alarming deterioration of the security situation in the state in the last two months.

According to the statement, over 400 villages and communities are estimated to be controlled by the ravaging bandits in the state with the terrorists forming their own government in these areas and deciding what happens and what should be done. “Even the State House of Assembly had expressed worries over the development, lamenting that it appears there is no government in the state owing to the disdainful way the bandits are having a field day in their killing spree.

“This was as 31 villagers were killed by bandits in Janbako and Sakida villages, Maradun Local Government Area the following weekend. And just last Thursday armed Bandits abducted twenty-five persons in Boko village in Zurmi local government area including twenty-four women and one male adult. The women were abducted in their homes when the armed bandits invaded the Community," DWI added.

“Also in Bukkuyum and Anka, the wave of insecurity is blowing all over the state and the PDP-led government under Dauda Lawal is doing nothing but lamentation which is a sign of failure on the side of the government.
