Kidnap: Hold Zamfara Gov As Suspect Until… – ACF
The Arewa Consultative Forum, ACF has said that Zamfara State governor, Bello Matawalle should be treated as a suspect in the kidnap of the 317 students of Government Girls Secondary School, Jangebe in Talata Mafara until he discloses the names of those he claimed were behind the abduction, the Arewa Consultative Forum, ACF has said.
GreenWhiteGreen GWG had reported the governor as saying that Nigerians would be shocked if he reveals the identity of those who masterminded the kidnap.
The governor spoke when he interacted with the state’s council of chiefs following the kidnap of the girls.
The national chairman of the ACF, Chief Audu Ogbeh in a statement on Tuesday said the Zamfara governor should be made to identify those he claimed were behind the kidnap.
Should he not, reveal the identity of those behind the kidnap, the ACF said the Zamfara governor should be held as a suspect.
“The Arewa Consultative Forum ACF is stunned by a statement accredited to the Zamfara Governor, Bello Matawalle.”
“The governor is reported in the media to have told 17 Emirs who paid a sympathy visit to him on the kidnap of 317 schoolgirls from Government Girls Secondary School Jangebe in Talata Mafara that he knew the identity of the kidnappers & if he revealed their identity, Nigerians will be shocked.”
“We ask the governor to reveal their identity and let Nigerians be shocked or even the heavens fall.”
“We also ask the security agencies to question the governor on the identifies of the criminals he is trying to hide. If he refuses to disclose their identities, he must be treated as an accomplice to the criminal act of kidnapping,” the ACF said in its claim against the Zamfara governor on the school kidnap.
“The ACF has been embarrassed by the spate of kidnappings especially of school children spreading like wildfire all over the north.”
“People in positions of authority that will help us out of this mess like Governor Mutawalle must stop embarrassing the north and country with careless statements on a serious issue like the kidnappings of school children.”
“Zamfara State and the north are way behind the rest of the country in educational development. The serial kidnappings of school pupils in the north will only worsen a bad and unacceptable state of education in the North.”
