The Arewa Consultative Forum, ACF has summoned a meeting of its board of trustees. This followed the increasing rate of banditry in the North, particularly in Zamfara, Katsina, Kaduna and Sokoto states.
A member of the Board of Trustees of the ACF said the meeting, which would hold today would discuss the rising incidence of kidnappings and killings in the North in particular, and the country in general.
The ACF convened the meeting just as the Minister of Defence, Mansur Dan-Ali, indicted some prominent traditional rulers in the North for aiding bandits in the North-West.
Although spokesman for the ACF Muhammad Biu, declined to comment on the allegation against the traditional rulers, he confirmed that the forum’s BOT would meet over the problem of banditry.
