Insecurity: Save Zamfara, Matawalle’s Aide Begs Federal Govt

The spokesperson of the former governor of Zamfara State, Comrade Anas Abdullahi Kaura, has called on the federal government to intervene in the insecurity challenges facing the state.

Kaura said that Zamfara State has fallen into a bad insecurity situation since the swearing in of the new governor of the state, Dr Dauda Lawal, urging the federal government to intervene.

Speaking with journalists in Abuja, Kaura said the only option left is for the federal government to intervene because, according to him, the state government shows that they cannot do it.

According to the spokesman, in less than five days, 70 people were kidnapped in Bukuyum, 40 in Jangebe, 10 in Damri Bakura local government, and 27 people were killed in Gwaram with nine of them slaughtered.

“There are other violent terrorist attacks that are disturbing even the security forces.

“On the other hand, despite the state of insecurity in the state, Dr Dauda Lawal travelled out of the country just to watch polo, few days ago,” Kaura said adding that it was a lie that the former governor of Zamfara State, Bello Matawalle did not leave a dime in the state treasury.

“Even though the governor has come out to say that money was not left for him in his interview with BBC Hausa, the question here is: where did he get the money to buy cars worth billions of Naira? This money alone is enough to end the security problems in Zamfara State,” Kaura said.

Kaura said the people of Zamfara State are facing unprecedented level of insecurity adding that even the present governor, Dr Dauda Lawal during his election campaign promised the people of Zamfara State to fight against insecurity.

“One of the governor’s assistants in the media said, Governor Dr Dauda has the right to buy any car that will protect him considering the security situation in the state. He is trying to protect himself, but he has not made any effort to end the insecurity problems in the state. Where is the promise he made to protect the life and properties of the people who voted for him?” Kaura asked.
