Over 3,000 killed, 500 villages affected in Zamfara - Governor Yari

- Over 3,000 people have been killed by armed bandits in Zamfara state in the state in the last five years

- Governor Abdulaziz Yari who disclosed this also said over 500 villages were affected by the attacks by bandits

- Going further, the governor said over 13,000 hecters of farmlands were also destroyed The Zamfara government has said that a total of 3,526 persons were killed by armed bandits in the state in the last five years.

This was disclosed by the state governor, Alhaji Abdulaziz Yari on Tuesday, April 9, in Gusau during a Town hall meeting attended by the acting Inspector General of Police (IGP), Mohammed Adamu.

“Nearly 500 villages have also been devastated and 8,219 persons were injured, some are still in critical condition.”

The governor, who was represented by the Secretary to the State Government (SSG), Prof. Abdullahi Shinkafi, also said that over 13,000 hecters of farmlands were either destroyed or made useless as the farmers can no longer farm them.

“The economy of the state has seriously suffered because thousands of shops were destroyed by the rampaging bandits who had displaced thousands of our people from their places of abode, many of whom cannot sleep with their two eyes closed because of fear,” he added.

Yari said the government had written volumes of reports containing over 7,000 pages, giving details of the crises right from the beginning to the infiltration from Libya and Boko Haram.

He disclosed that the government was aware of eight prominent bandits camps at different bush locations in the state, and urged that they should all be neutralized in order to decimate the criminals. The governor said that recent suspension of mining activities in the state by the federal government must “be followed by enforcement, because, it is one thing to ban, and another to enforce.”

Earlier, Adamu, the acting IGP, told the gathering that the police would take more proactive measures in the fight against bandits and commended the state government for providing enabling environment to security personnel to operate in the state.

The News Agency of Nigeria (NAN) reports that the townhall meeting was attended by traditional and community leaders including herders and farmers.

Ask Buhari Government to do the right thing. The Governor alleged that Buhari Government know 8 prominent hideout of those terrorists in different bush locations. Ask your government to comb those bush and spare us your fake love for Northerners

An so what mtchww next level

These fools have told the press to call Boko Haram/herdsmen bandits, thinking they are deceiving us.

They have not even inaugurated the Next Level they voted for and they are already counting loses. Let them wait until after inauguration.

Las las, Zamfara people, and Nigerians in general, would realize that it's better to have a thief who would steal and leave you alive, than to die with your property intact.

Anuofias!

3000 killed.. 500 villages destroyed... no shutdowns, no major protest, no social media uproar.. nothing.

When we were condoling these atrocities and shielding blames from the Govt, well precedence has shown Nigerians have lost all that right now as it wont get even 10% support.

it's because there are millions of people like me who doesn't give a single flying fork again

how can you pity someone that deliberately commits suicide even after you warned him about that.
this people enjoys being killed that's the reason they voted for the incompetent charlatan called buhari
Imagine a president and his vice with all the killings going on from zamfara, Kaduna, Benue and Anambra ignored and jetted out for some irrelevant stuffs.

seriously Nigerians have lost all their pity
let the dead Bury the dead

hatred? Guy, I don't have time for that.

Every world leader knows that education is the foundation of development, do u think they're talking about islamic education which d core northern leaders choose as their own form of education?

U can hide from d truth as much as u want, illiteracy is the bane of underdevelopment in the north, the people are illiterate, no skill, no quality education, they're unemployable except for menial jobs, most of them are product of almajiri system with nothing in their mind but religious dogmatism. Those are the people that grew up to form Boko Haram and bandits, the system n environment molded them to who they are today.

Give them quality western education n skill acquisition and watch those atrocities reduce.
