Bandits have again reportedly invaded the community again and kidnapped over 150 people.
A University Don, Prof Bello Bada disclosed this in an interview with Radio France International(rfi)Hausa Service monitored in Kaduna on Sunday.
According to him, the scary activities of bandits in the area was due to certain lapses from many quarters.
This comes on the heels of the killing of Emir, Alhaji Isa Muhammad Bawa, who was murdered by bandits in Sokoto.
Professor Bada said the murder of the Emir of Gobir was a humiliation to all Nigerians, stressing that now is the time for Nigerians to have a rethink on the nefarious acts of these bandits who have continued to kill people intermittently.
He said, ” The bandits had made a similar attempt on the life of the Emir of Potiskum while he was on the way to Zaria but he narrowly escaped. The Emir of Kauran Namoda escaped death by whiskers, but members of his entourage were killed by the bandits.
“In Zuru community, a monarch was slaughtered by these bandits, but after some few days, these heinous acts would be completely forgotten as if nothing ever happened, until the bandits strike again.”
The University Don added, ” where these bandits are coming from is well known but the appropriate action against them is not well taken. “
Meanwhile, a security analyst, Dr Yahuza Getso has said that the security operatives who were complacent and allowed the late Emir of Gobir to be murdered by bandits after spending over 3 weeks in captivity, should be punished.
