Attacks in Zamfara, Kaduna, Bauchi Worrisome – Agbambu

The attacks in Zamfara, Bauchi and Kaduna over the weekend and the last few days have been described as one too many that must be addressed before it becomes something else.

Chief Executive officer of Security Watch Africa Initiative, Patrick Agbambu, disclosed this while speaking on the recent upsurge in attacks by Bandits/Terrorists in the Three States of Kaduna, Zamfara and Bauchi.

He said the attacks following weeks and months that seem to show that the Security Forces have got to grips with the activities of the hoodlums.

He described the attacks as a wake up call that Security Forces need to take cognizance of.

He disclosed that the attack in Zamfara is as a result of the failure of the People and Government of Zamfara to show enough commitment to bring the matter to an end while Kaduna incident shows that more needs to be done to address it.

He described the fact the attacks have now extended to Bauchi as a very worrisome development that shows that the nations’ Security establishment must sit up and take proactive measures.

On why he accused the Zamfara State Government of not being committed to bringing Banditry to an end, Mr Agbambu said the gap between what the Government says and does is so wide and will even leave the Security Services Confused.

He disclosed that the Security Forces in Zamfara State have not been given the required support to address the deteriorating situation.

Going Further, he disclosed that People who have been indicted by Security reports have been moving around freely wondering what it will take the government to do something.

He said the area where the Zamfara attack occurred, Dansadau Local Government has been the hotbed of Banditry is the heartland of Banditry and is riddled with Informants and bandits and is almost inaccessible to Security Forces needing the complete Cooperation of the people and Government for Security agents to be able to address the situation.

He disclosed that the banditry/Terrorism being witnessed cannot in most cases be addressed by the Security Forces but the people and Government in a way to ensure their protection but he said this is not happening in that case.

On whether the governors are helpless in tackling the situation, he said governors are responsible for their failures to address issues affecting the people at the grassroots leaving a lot of ungoverned spaces for Non-State Actors the opportunity to thrive and unleash a reign of terror.

He commended the Federal government for the opportunity it has given to governors to be able to secure their people but added that the governors have failed abysmally in addressing these situations.

He advocated for a probe of how Security votes are being expended by governors while also calling on the Federal Government to declare a State of emergency in Zamfara State particularly.

On how the people can come in to ensure Security, He said people in the State have aligned themselves with bandits overtime due to failure of governance at the grassroots making it difficult for government and the Security forces to stop their activities.

He said this alliance must be broken between the people and bandits by the people providing the right information and actionable intelligence for Security forces to act on.

He disclosed that often times, the people and communities in the affected States provide information to bandits/Terrorists about Troops and Security agencies movement enabling their attacks on communities and ambush on Security agencies.
