155 people
have been killed and 50 kidnapped in Zamfara in less than a month, so says Abdulaziz Yari, governor of the state.
Yari
dropped this bad news Monday during a state broadcast on the many security
challenges facing Zamfara.
The governor maintained
that 53 people were killed in Shinkafi local government area; 50 in Maru local government
area; 37 in Maradun local government area and 15 in Zurmi local government area.
According to Yari, though the federal government launched a
military operation against the bandits, July the criminals regrouped and
returned with vendetta, killing and kidnapping innocent people and demanding
large sums of money as ransom.
Yari appealed to the federal government to deploy more military
personnel to the state to defeat the bandits.
