- Governor Bello Matawalle of Zamfara says he will pardon 100 Fulani people who are imprisoned over banditry in Gusau -
The disclosure was made by the senior special assistant to the governor on media, Zaila Bappa - Bappa says the governor stated this when he received representatives of the Fulani community in Zamfara.

The Cable reports that Governor Matawalle expressed displeasure that the Fulani “are now termed as terrorists worst than Boko Haram”. Legit.ng gathers that the governor said granting pardon to the bandits is part of an ongoing peace process in the state. He said: “I am one of you and I know you are not terrorists. “What is happening today has a cause and we are determined to address it with your cooperation.” “You can see now; you are here not only in Gusau, but the government house. Nobody will arrest you or harm you. Our aim is to have lasting peace in our dear state.” Speaking on behalf of the Fulani community in Zamfara, Baba Bello said that all known bandits would surrender their weapons.

The ex-bandits said at a peace meeting in Tsafe, that they were harassed and intimidated by the police and vigilantes, locally known as ‘Yan Sakai’, into becoming bandits and kidnappers. The meeting which held at the palace of the Emir of Tsafe, Alhaji Muhammadu Bawa, one of the bandits commanders, Hassan Dantawaye, said they were unjustly treated by the government and the society. He said: “We were forced into this, because apart from cattle rustling incidents we faced some years back, we also faced serious harassment and intimidation from security personnel and Yan Sakai."

Eeeehhhh..........if this can happen i never sure northern states can have peace till kingdom come

This fight is between Hausa and Fulani in Zamfara. Fulanis are the bandits and Hausas are the Yan Kasai vigilantes. The governor has outlawed the vigilantes and promised to make the freed bandits and ex-bandits the new vigilante corps in Zamfara, and on payroll. Imagine the kind of support this governor would give to Fulani if this fight was between Fulani and a Southern group there in Zamfara. If he can treat his Hausa brothers and muslims like that, imagine what this Matawalle guy would do to a non muslim foreigner. shyyte!

looks like you are finally embracing the truth.

Didn't one governor claim to have paid the bandits handsomely to stop the killings in his state?

Were the killings stopped afterwards?

What would be the feelings of the victims of the marauders seeing their attackers going free?

How do we want peace in a society without justice?

This sadistic and ignorant govt. now wants to take land from the victims/indigenes to give to their killers under the guise of RUGA.

And they expect peace to reign in such an environment.
