SHOT DEAD SUSPECTS WITH ILLEGAL FIREARMS, GOVERNOR YARI ORDERS SECURITY AGENTS

Yari further directed for the disbandment of five communities and the removal of the village and district heads of the affected communities in the emirate with immediate effect as they were accused of harbouring bandits.

The governor said that any person or group found associating with bandits should also not be spared but treated as the firearms carriers and bandits.

 The Emir of Anka, Alhaji Attahiru Ahmad while responding said “we need more security personnel who are also committed to carry out their responsibility effectively.”

The emir reiterated that the people had no problem of herders/farmers clashes at the moment.

“What we are facing is armed banditry by trigger happy criminals who attack innocent rural dwellers and steal their cash and property, ” he said.

The News Agency of Nigeria recalled that Bawan Daji village was attacked by bandits for two consecutive days, (last Tuesday and Wednesday) where they killed over 30 people.
