For installing bandits’ kingpin, Ado Aleiro as Sarkin Fulanin Yandoto in Zamfara State, a Peoples Democratic Party Chieftain in Birnin Gwari Local government area of Kaduna State, Ibrahim Musa Yakodo, on Sunday said the Zamfara State government has proven that banditry and other forms of terrorist attacks across the country, originated from the state.
Report has it that a bandits’ kingpin known as Ado Aleiro was on Saturday turbaned as the Sarkin Fulanin Yandoto by the Yandoton Daji Emirate of Zamfara State.
Ado Aleiro has reportedly led attacks on many villages.
Following the development, Yakodo, himself a Fulani man, said in Kaduna that the government of Zamfara State has openly displayed its support for criminals.
He said with the installation of a criminal in Zamfara State Council of Traditional Rulers, the coast has become clear, and very soon, bandits will take over the state as governor, and the full course of criminality spread across the entire country.
He said gradually, criminals will become part and parcel of the government, as the country’s resources are gradually being shared among them.
From the installation of a criminal, who has killed several innocent souls, and the government sees no one else good enough or worthy enough to bring in, then the suffering of Nigerians will continue.” He said.
He envisaged that many factors came to play in the installation of bandit kingpin, because if the installation can be done, openly, without interruption from the federal government, the DSS and security agents, it means, by extension, invisible hands from top government functionaries have played a vital role.
Gradually, these criminals are gaining ground. In Birni Gwari LGA, in Kaduna, they are in control of that LGA. They are now in Abuja, the seat of government and nobody is saying anything.” He said
He presumed that the 2023 election may not hold, because armed bandits may take control of the country and suspend all political activities.
