“I Can Tell You The Location Of Every Bandit Kingpin In Zamfara” – Gov. Lawal
Zamfara State Governor Lawal claims he could eliminate banditry in two months if he controlled state security forces, but laments their dependence on Abuja for orders. Overcome with emotion in a recent video, he recounted an attack where security forces refused to intervene without authorization. Lawal insists he knows the location of bandit leaders but lacks the power to act. Despite this, his administration supports security agencies with logistics, funding, and the recruitment of local guards and hunters. He attributes the ongoing insecurity to political sabotage, hindering his efforts to improve living conditions and foster peace within the state.
