Shehu Sani queries attacks on Matawalle, Ribadu over banditry
Former Senator representing Kaduna North Senatorial District, Comrade Shehu Sani, has said that the recent political criticism of the Minister of State for Defence, Bello Matawalle, and the National Security Adviser, Nuhu Ribadu, are unnecessary distractions in the fight against banditry and terrorism.
DAILY POST recalls that the Governor of Zamfara State and some groups had accused Matawalle of maintaining ties with the bandits plaguing Zamfara State.
Reacting during a press conference, Shehu Sani, a human rights activist, said there is a significant decrease in banditry and terrorist attacks in the North West and North Central.
Shehu Sani, who queried the critics, asked, “Why are some people not happy because bandit leaders are being targeted and eliminated?”
He said that Matawalle and Ribadu are delivering on their mandates and making the North safer, and questioned the whereabouts of those accusing the security chiefs of incompetence when people were slaughtered daily under Buhari’s 8-year regime.
He admitted that terrorism and banditry have not been completely wiped out, but said there is serious improvement in the safety of citizens across the North West.
“Now that the war against terrorism is turning the tides against bandit leaders in the North West, the CDS Musa, Defence Minister of State Matawalle, NSA Ribadu, and others should remain focused and not distracted.”
“Any person genuinely interested in bringing an end to these evil kidnappers and mass murderers should support the current efforts and encourage them to do more rather than embark on frivolous criticism,” he said.
