Matawalle Vows To Arrest Predecessor If Killings Continue In Zamfara

 Governor Bello Matawalle of Zamfara State promised to arrest the former aid he would arrest a former state governor of the state, Abdul’aziz Yari, if the ongoing banditry attack in some parts of the state continues.

Matawalle who said this while receiving some firearms surrendered by repentant bandits at the Government House, Gusau, alleged that it is obvious that killings of innocent people happened anytime the former governor visit the state

He said, “I decided to take this action against the former governor because I observed that whenever he visited the state, there would be attacks and killing of innocent people immediately he left,” he alleged.

According to Matawalle, the recent killings in Karaye village was the third time the former governor visited the state. He alleged that his predecessor’s visit was followed by a security breach, which he described as “too much of coincidence.”

 “Security is the responsibility of all and I wonder why some people such as the former governor and his followers are not happy with the current development in which the security of the state has significantly improved.”

The governor, therefore, instructed security agencies in the state to arrest and prosecute anybody found to be responsible for the killings, saying he would not allow “some failed politicians” to destroy the state for their personal interests.

When the Special Adviser to Yari on Media, Alhali Ibrahim Dosara, was contacted to comment on the matter he declined saying that only the Publicity Secretary Committee Chairman of the All Progressives Congress, Alhali Ibrahim Magaji, could comment on the matter.
