Governor Abdulaziz Yari of Zamfara state has, on Thursday, announced a reward of N1 million on every illegal AK 47 rifle returned to the state government.

The governor, who announced this at a news conference in Gusau, said the gesture had become necessary following the unabated increase in crime, especially abduction in the state.

He wondered why “in 2015, with just about 250 soldiers, the crime rate was low but with over 1,600 soldiers of different categories, we cannot contain crime in the state.”

He said with the proposed engagement of 8,500 youths as civilian task force, those involved would be better equipped in the fight against armed banditry, cattle rustling and kidnapping in the state.

He said that many of the youths that would be engaged would come from the rural areas where the crime rate was higher.

“I am confident that since the locals know the people in their surroundings, they will be quick in detecting any new comer or suspicious movement.”

Armed bandits have continued to storm various communities in the state, especially at the rural areas where they kill, maim, abduct people and burn houses, shops and other properties.

I guess this guy has never heard of the cobra effect. He's offering double what the guns are worth. Criminals will probably cash in then buy more guns and ammo.

See this one
Is it not the hand work of politicians?

Its not enough these type of criminals get amnesty because they have sudden come to jesus moment. They now get to make cash of these guns. These bandits are the same people who murdered murder police set villages on fire. They need bigger police pressence and economic growth.

How much does an Ak go for on the street for real?

One million is too much, they will use it and buy more weapons. Instead empower them with skills and give them the one million inform of commodity to start a business.

Someone tell Gov Yari there is no AK47 that is legal.

The incompetence of our rulers frustrate me sometimes.

AK47 is an assault rifle and no government issues license of ownership, which makes it legal, to any individual or organization beside militaray, paramilitary and combat security units.

So which one come be illegal ak47?

Any private citizen not in active military service or combat assignment but in posession of one is illegal.

Yari should say if your ak47 is not traceable to govt issue we need you to surrender it.

Moreover, isnt this an amnesty program? Submit ak47 for 1m naira!

In others words, earn money for your illegality.

Chei...Chineke!

Nigerian leaders sometimes they don’t think before dealing

Buhari is paying huge ransom to BH, El Rufai is paying killers directly and Yari is doubling the capital of the killers of his people.
Is there any doubt that Nigerian leaders are prone to participating in blood sacrifices?

like El rufai like yard



meanwhile,we exchange bitcoin to paypal and to other Ecurrency.

Buhari regime is full of blood

Cursed government.

Return AK47 collect N1m.
Then use the N1m buy more guns.

Kukuma ask them to come use their AK47 as collateral for N1m sponsorship grant?
Or Tell us you are paying them to kill more people?

Smart governor!

Same people wey no fit pay 30k minimum wage.

Illiteracy should never be combined with ignorance. Unfortunately, that's the reality in the North. Just like El-Rufai proudly announcing that he paid off terrorists to stop murdering people.

I will return 1ak47 collect 1m and buy 4 more Ak47 and collect more money. When we av leaders who have head without thinking brain, just looting brain

Drowning governor
