A chieftain of All progressive Grand Alliance Sani Abdullahi Wamban Shinkafi has called on the military authorities to court martial the army officer who was arrested for supplying weapons to bandits in Zamfara forest.
Wamban Shinkafi who made the call during a media briefing in Shinkafi said, the best option for the state is to shot the accused to death in the open market after he is being convicted.
He said it was unfortunate that the military officer is using his girl friend as conduit pipe for supplying arms and amunitions to the bandits noting that unless the right step is taken to punish the accused military officer Zamfara people would not have a rest of mind.
While commending the peace initiative of Governor Bello Matawalle, Wamban Shinkafi said it is on record that the number of carnages and killings innZamfara State have reduced drastically noting that, without the peace effort of Governor Bello Matawalle Zamfara would have been different by now.
“I knew of a time when amunitions were sold in the public at the cost of 200 in Shinkafi without the security agencies taking any steps to prohibit it” Wambai added.
He further said, bandits in Zamfara are in control of rocket launchers, RPG’s and other deadly weapons that even the conventional security operatives do not have and that is why they strike at villages and communities openly.
He accused some APC leaders of fueling the crises in Zamfara simply in order to show that Governor Bello Matawalle has failed in discharging his constitutional duties.
