From Okwe Obi, Abuja
The Northern Emancipation Network (NEN), has told Governor Lawal Dare to leave Abuja and return to Zamfara State to tackle insecurity ravaging his state.
NEN Secretary General, Sulaiman Abbah, in a statement on Monday, said the spate of killings and kidnapping in Zamfara were becoming uncontrollable.
He claimed that despite attempts by previous governments to curtail insecurity, the situation in the state had continued to deteriorate.
Abbah said: “Killers and other criminals appear to have sensed a paralysing vacuum at the highest levels of leadership in the State since the inception of the new government, and they grow more confident and acquire more competence in subverting the State and peoples security.
“The people of Zamfara have shed enough tears and blood in the last three weeks without appropriate response from those with responsibilities to protect them.
“Villages are being emptied as hundreds of people, due to constant attacks, are relocating to the already congested urban areas of the state and deepening poverty.
“Zamfara did not vote you to go about chasing shadows fighting over vehicles and other individuals’ properties but to work to improve their condition in terms of security, most importantly.”
