Northwest Governor Is Behind Increased Banditry In The Region – APC

The ruling All Progressives Congress (APC) has come out to say that an unnamed governor in one of the Northwestern states is behind the increased wave of banditry in the region.

The party recently revealed this via a statement issued in Abuja by its Acting National Publicity, Mr Yekini Nabena.

According to him, security agencies are hereby challenged to investigate an intelligence report linking a Northwest governor to the heightened cases of banditry, abductions and other violent crimes in the zone, because it is a good lead.

He then added that he cannot name the governor in particular because of the security nature of the issue.

His words, “Our security agencies have intelligence reports linking one of the Northwest governors of colluding and sponsoring the violent and criminal activities of bandits in the zone.”

“I won’t give details because of the sensitive and security nature of the issue. However, relevant security agencies must as a matter of urgency investigate the report and determine its veracity. Human life is not what we should play political chess games with.

“We must shun enemies of the country including the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) who seek political gains from issues of insecurity.

“Our security agencies must also be alert to plots to further destabilise the North-west region and frustrate the quick and safe release of students abducted from GSSS Kankara, Katsina State.”
