Governor Aminu Tambuwal of Sokoto says rampaging bandits murdering hapless Nigerians, especially in the North, have no political, religious and tribal ideology except a taste for a bloodbath.
He described the criminals as enemies of humanity.
”They do not consider ethnicity, religious or political party differences. They do not have any ideological or tribal pursuit,” asserted Mr Tambuwal on Tuesday when he received a delegation of Nigerian Governors Forum (NGF), led by its chairman, Governor Kayode Fayemi. “They are just enemies of humanity.
The delegation was in Sokoto to commiserate with the governor and residents over recent attacks by bandits, including the burning to death of 23 travellers.
Mr Tambuwal called on all stakeholders to support President Muhammadu Buhari to bring the situation under control.
“In view of the persistent happenings, all hands must be on deck to check the incidents and support President Buhari at all levels on containing the situation,” stated the Sokoto governor. “The bandits’ intentions and motives are still unravelled (sic). When they attack a community, they kill at random, shoot everybody irrespective of political differences.”
He urged that the bandits be dealt a fatal blow.
”We stand with Governor Tambuwal and other citizens over the sad incident. We shall continue to focus on the ways to curtail the situation and pray to Almighty Allah to stop the menace,” said Mr Fayemi.
He added, ”We are aware of Tambuwal’s parley with President Muhammadu Buhari along with Federal Government delegation that visited Sokoto on condolence visit and obtained direct situation reports on the incidents.”
