Shehu Sani hails Gobir residents for responding to calls to confront Bandits
The people of Gobir Communities in Sokoto state, North West Nigeria, have been commended for moving into the forests to confront the bandits.
Senator Shehu Sani, a former lawmaker, commended the people and residents of Gobir Communities in Sokoto State, North-west Nigeria, for responding to the call for People’s Shahada Actions and moving into forests to confront the so-called daredevil bandits face to face.
It should be noted that, according to a viral video posted online, thousands of residents from Gobir in Sokoto State stormed the forest in large numbers to confront bandits who had been terrorising their community in recent years.
In response to the video, the Human Rights Activist stated that it is past time for the people to confront banditry head-on.
Stressing that there is “no better time for people’s Shahada actions than now.”
Shehu Sani, who has expressed outrage over the killing of the Emir of Gobir and the numerous cases of kidnapping by ravaging bandits in the northern regions, stated that security agencies’ failure to address issues of insecurity, particularly banditry, compelled him to issue a call for People’s Shahada Actions as a powerful solution to contain bandit excesses.
Shehu Sani stated in a Facebook post today that “the solution to the incessant and intractable problems of the cruelty and menace of banditry in the North West is a People’s Shahada action, which is a mass movement to fumigate and disinfect their lands, forests, and farms against banditry and bandits.”
According to Shehu Sani, “This theory aims to permanently free the people from the criminality of kidnappings and killings so that they can reclaim their lives, farms, and schools.”
“Vigilante and security agencies can collaborate and cooperate to achieve results.
Senator Sani has previously raised concerns about how bandits took control of the north and established a governance structure.
His words: “Bandits in the North West have essentially become a state within a state.”They have been able to establish a governance structure in the sense that they do more than just kidnap and extort money; they have even installed.”
While serving in the Senate, Sani also made frantic efforts to urge security agencies to take bold steps to address the issues of Boko Haram and rising banditry before they spiral out of control.
He did the same thing when he made a video about the need to rescue the late Emir of Gobir before he was brutally killed by bandits.
However, this time, the former lawmaker urged all citizens and residents from the three geopolitical regions of the north to move into forests and dislodge all bandits.
“Enough with the killing of innocent people for no legitimate reason. I am convinced that the People’s Shahada Actions are the best option for ridding our region of bandits and criminals,” he stated.
