Nnamdi Kanu: Taraba Gov, Ishaku Slams Buhari Govt For Pampering Bandits

Governor of Taraba State Darius Ishaku has excoriated the president Muhammadu Buhari led administration over its handling of security situation in the country, noting that the actions of the federal government embolden non-state actors, like bandits and terrorists, wreaking havoc in the country.

Ishaku said Buhari has treated the activities of bandits with kid gloves and even ignored them altogether in some instances but has been brutal and aggressive with peaceful separatists agitating for self-determination.

Ishaku said he had repeatedly asked security agencies why they had not gone after bandits who had not be discreet about their activities, he concluded that some persons of means and proper standing are financing the brigands.

“As a governor, I have asked security operatives these questions during our security meetings. One, how are the insurgents surviving, where do they get AK-47, why is it that they are invisible that they are not being caught?” Ishaku queried during during an interview on Channels TV on Wednesday night.

He added that “If there are no answers to this three questions, then you know that there are sponsors. These are brand new AK-47, how will a local man go buy such an expensive weapon. It is all over the place where somebody was confessing that these guns were being provided to them and they were being trained.”

Ishaku wondered how the security agencies could arrest and repatriate Indigenous People of Biafra leader, Nnamdi Kanu, from foreign country but cannot deal with bandits who are killing citizens across the country.

Ishaku added that if Nigerian security agencies could go after Kanu and arrest him abroad, it should not be an impossible task to combat bandits who are killing Nigerians across the country.

“It is the work of the security agencies to get to the root,” Mr Ishaku said. “If they can go outside this country to arrest  people who are declaring for independence, why are they not able to defeat those who are killing our own citizens here in the farms?” There is more to it that meets the eye.

Asked what is the way forward to resolving insecurity problems, Mr Ishaku said “If we  put our foot down that this problems should be erased in three months, it would go,” adding that Nigeria has brilliant security agencies that could tackle insecurity.
