A group under the auspices of Northern Emancipation Network, NEN, has lamented the deteriorating security situation in Zamfara state in the last three weeks, describing it as becoming uncontrollable.
In a press statement signed and issued to newsmen in Kaduna, Sulaiman Abbah, NEN’s Secretary General alleged that in spite of the previous government’s efforts to curtail the situation, the new government does not appear to be interested in seeking answers to the security challenges which the state is exposed to as the people continue to live and die under the dictates of killers, kidnappers, rapists and sundry criminal groups.
The Northern Emancipation Network lamented that villages are being emptied as hundreds of people, due to constant attacks, are relocating to the already congested urban areas of the state and deepening poverty.
According to the group, for the very first time ever, the popular Shinkafi market had been completely overrun by criminal attackers and all activities crippled and while the market remained deserted.
The Group therefore insisted that Zamfara is once again becoming its former safe haven for different terrorist groups, while calling on the Zamfara State Governor to work towards the security of the people who elected and entrusted their lives and future in his care.
