“Go After Bandit Leaders And Arrest Them” – Shehu Sani
A former lawmaker from Southern Kaduna Shehu Sani said security agencies must do everything within their powers to arrest the leaders of bandits’ groups terrorizing and kidnapping Nigerians.
In an interview monitored by Grassroots.ng, the former lawmaker on Monday, lamented the response and failure so far of the President Muhammadu Buhari administration to ensure the release of kidnapped students in some parts of the country, especially Kaduna State.
While bemoaning the escalation of banditry in the state and across the North-West region of the country, Sani emphasized that it was more important to arrest the bandits’ leaders, than separatist activists the government was going after.
Ripples Nigeria had repeatedly reported about the trend of abductions in Kaduna with the latest incident happening on Sunday where the Emir of Kajuru was abducted alongside some members of his household.
According to Sani, “We know the bandits’ leaders Dogo Gidi in Zamfara axis and Palleri in Kaduna/Niger axis.
“Palleri always sends audio messages bragging about his capacity to abduct whoever he wants to. He was the mastermind of the Greenfield kidnapping. He pledged to kidnap more people.
“The arrests of these two will ensure a reduction in the bandits activities.”
In response to comparison with the arrest of secessionists, Sani said, “I can say that in comparative terms, there is more interest in going after secessionist than bandits. I am not in support of secession and I believe they should work towards a united Nigeria.
“If the same method were applied in banditry, things would have been better. I don’t think these issues are more important than Kanu or Igboho.
“We can’t tackle them without the use of 21 century technology. We don’t have drones that move across the zones, providing intelligence.
“These bandits move in hundreds and can’t be hard to miss. Something is wrong with our security agencies. Secessionist agitations is not our only problem.”

Rented Crowed, APC AKIDA Leader with Zamfara State Govt. Buses Embark on Campaign of Calumny at DSS Office
Godiya Hamza, a Media Analyst, writes from Abuja
The orchestrated campaign of calumny against the Honourable Minister of State for Defence H.E Dr Bello Muhammad Matawalle MON by a group of street orchins recruited by the leader of APC AKIDA Tijjani Ramallan is very preposterous and indecent.
This is politics too far, Ramadan has been attacking President Bola Ahmed Tinubu GCFR right from campaign days. He never supported or participated in APC activities, he has been jealous of Matawalle loyalty to our President.
Tijjani Ramallan has been sponsoring Banditry and romancing with criminals.
The leader of the APC AKIDA Tijjani Ramallan is being sponsored by the state government to attack the person of Dr Matawalle. It is expected that by now the DSS should have arrested him . He has found himself as a willing tool to be manipulated by Governor Dauda Lawal in attacking Dr Matawalle.
The earlier smear campaign embarked by zamfara state government which was stopped by a court order has forced them to shift to the use of APC AKIDA to carry out their mischief.
What zamfara people need is good governance and not wasting the state resources in trying to pull Matawalle down.
Pull him down syndrome pays no body.

Picture Of The 17-Year-Old Hawker Who Was Shot Dead By The Police, Which Led To Wuse Market Fire Saga Yesterday
Yesterday, Angry youths set parts of the popular Wuse market in Abuja on fire over the killing of a 17-year-old hawker simply identified as Musa.
The office of the Abuja Markets Management Limited (AMML) inside the market as well as some cars parked at the market’s car park were reportedly affected.
It was gathered that a suspect who was being tried at the mobile court in the market attempted to run away, but was allegedly shot and killed by the police.
A senior official of the AMML, who pleaded for anonymity, confirmed the incident.
He said the suspect was already convicted of a crime which was not mentioned and in the process of taking him to court for another offence, the boy bolted and tried to run when he was shot by the police. The AMML official said that was what provoked the attackers to burn down some shops, the office of AMML and some vehicles.
The situation caused a stampede in the market as people rushed to save their property.
It is not clear how many people were injured in the stampede as people scaled the fences while some pushed their way through the few gates available. But so many shops and goods got destroyed by the fire.
