Villagers said the terrorists were escaping from a military onslaught in Zamfara.


By Agency Report


Hundreds of terrorists led by a notorious bandit, Ɗan-ƙarami, have reportedly relocated from Zamfara to areas between Safana and Batsari Local Government Areas of Katsina State.

Villagers said the terrorists were escaping from a military onslaught in Zamfara.

They were said to have moved into Tsaskiya, Runka, Gora, Labo and other communities in the two local government areas.

Villagers said the terrorists have teamed up with another notorious bandit, Usman Moɗi-Moɗi, who has been terrorising residents of the area.

The villagers said the terrorists in large numbers and heavily armed, moved to the area with many herds of cattle.

“About a thousand of them who came on about 300 motorcycles spent Saturday night in Labo village,” a reliable source told the News Agency of Nigeria (NAN).

He added that the terrorists were spread in at least five villages on the fringes of Rugu forest between Safana and Batsari as well as part of Zamfara.

The source, however, said what was not clear was whether the bandits were in transit or setting up a new base in the area.

The villagers appealed to the military and Katsina State Government to respond promptly and deny the terrorists any space to operate.

Dankarami and his gang were known for raiding villages and towns in Zamfara and attacking security personnel.

A community leader told NAN on condition of anonymity that some of the villagers have started relocating to avoid being caught up in the impending disaster.

He urged the military to deploy its land and air assets to decimate the terrorists before they wreak more havoc.

“If nothing is done immediately, these terrorists will pose a serious security threat to many surrounding local government areas, including the state capital.

“There are many of them and heavily armed. Government should respond with decisive firepower to save the people,” he added.
Similarly, a resident of Runka said: “From last week, these bandits were seen clearing bushes to make shelters, which means, they want to be here permanently.

“We heard that Dan-Karami came to Usman Modi-Modi some days ago, and Modi-Modi gave him weapons. This means they will work together to continue to perpetrate their criminal activities in those areas.

“Dankarami also came with dangerous weapons; the locals are telling us that they have never seen bandits in large numbers and the type of weapons they have. They are widening their base in the area.”

He also urged government and security agencies to hasten measures to prevent the terrorists from taking over the area.

When contacted, Ibrahim Ahmad-Katsina, special adviser on Security to Governor Aminu Masari said only the security forces could comment on the matter.

However, the spokesperson of the Police Command in the state, Gambo Isah, said they were investigating the veracity of the information.

“There is such rumour of the ongoing onslaught in the military operations and the police in Zamfara forcing some terrorists to relocate to some parts of the state.

“Here in Katsina, the security forces, particularly the Army, Nigerian Air Force and the Police have taken note of that and are making investigation to ascertain its genuineness and take appropriate action,” he said.

Katsina, like Zamfara, in Nigeria’s north-west, has been a hotbed of terrorist activities which have claimed many lives and displaced several others.

The terrorists also called bandits kill, maim and kidnap for ransom despite the efforts of the government to tame them over the years.

It's a pity what APC has turned the security of Nigeria into. From Lagos to Kaura Namoda, every Nigerian is living in fear of the unknown. If its not the killers they aencouraged to grow into huge business organisations, it will be agberos trained in lagos parks.

The worst thing is that the founder of agbero terror network is the one they selected to lead them.

Governors have no real powers when it comes to security, police and security in Nigeria should be localised instead of centralised that order only comes from Abuja before they can act.

Look closely below at the foto and guess what the unpresidential specie from hell is doing. This is a creature out of this world who has been in power since 2015, paving way for his fulani herdsmen Bandit to kill, kidnap, rape, burn whole villages like the days of Bushman Dan fodio while he Buhari builds railway lines to connect his terrorist kits and kins in Niger Republic.

If those villagers know what is good for them they should Remember that Buhari is a fake General who failed all his Military exams who will fail again if thesame exams are conducted 1000 times. The specie is a full blown dullard flying high in bigotry, division, nepotism, corruption, ethnic cleansing and cluelessness

The picture speaks Volumes. Does the specie, who is the only creature from hell in that room, not look already damned .Does he look like a human who has the will to do anything to the menace of insecurity in Nigeria

Look at the pic again, what does it tell about this creature

When it concerns their personal safety, they control their security personnel. When Abuja is angry with you, they withdraw the governors security.

The Governors ain't serious jare. They should use the same channels they use in arresting individuals and lock up the house of Assembly to fight for the lived of their people

No more business as usual when the new govt swear-in. I don't know how a sensible govt will allow some terrorist to destabilize his govt in the name of " my people"
Go to zamfara state and see how investors, companies, and private organizations are leaving the state on daily basis because of insecurity.

Some people that are remaining in the state are waiting till June to know how the new govt will handle the terrorists but I believe that things will change for good.
