From Ahmed Attahir 


The Zamfara State Factional House of Assembly has today ordered Governor Dauda Lawal to establish three Internally Displaced people (IDP ) camps as a result of incessant banditry Activities in the state. 

The factional assembly disclosed that Governor Dauda lawal's administration has failed  to fulfil one of its cardinal campaign promises to end armed banditry in the state.

In a motion moved by Hon. Ibrahim Tudu Tukur,  member representing Bakura State Constituency, said governor Dauda Lawal has steadily allowed the escalation of insecurity in the state while abandoning displaced persons roaming the streets in the state .

"The displaced persons were roaming around towns begging for what to eat without any help in sight from the state government after it failed to protect their lives, property and businesses". He lamented 

Tudu, who suggested the setting up of one IDP camp in each of the three Senatorial Districts of the state, explained that the measures will give the displaced persons a sense of belonging and save them from continued vulnerability. 

He accused the governor for not holding regular security meetings with heads of security agencies who could come up with superior approach on how to tackle the situation nor is he ever ready to listen to other critical stakeholders on other ways to handle the menace.

Also, in their separate contributions,  Hon. Nasiru Abdullahi Maru representing Maru North, Hon. Mukhtaru Nasiru Kaura representing Kaura Namoda North and Hon. Bashir Bello Sarki Zango representing Bungudu West said within one week,  many villages including Madira, Dayau, Daba in Kaura Namoda, Kwaren Ganuwa, Musawa Kalgo, Raka inside Tsafe Metropolis in Tsafe local government, Yar-Galma in Bukkuyum local government and Danmagori town of Bungudu local government were attacked but not a single sympathy visit was carried by the state government which they said is condemnable.

The law makers lamented how the state government ordered the arrest of some residents of Madira village of Kaura Namoda local government area just because they carried out a peaceful protest to the Emir of Kaura Namoda's palace over persistent killings of innocent people in their communities. 

Similarly,  the parallel Assembly under Gummi accused governor Dauda Lawal and the former Speaker Bilyaminu Ismail Moriki of diverting the sum of 800 million monthly in the name of special assignment describing it as 'coordinated corruption' aimed at syphoning Zamfara tax payers' for their selfish reasons. 

This came under 'matter of public importance' moved by the House Minority Leader,  Hon. Aliyu Ango Kagara of Mafara South Constituency. 

Contributing, Hon. Faruk Musa Dosara representing Maradun 1, Hon. Amiru Ahmed Keta Member representing Tsafe West and Hon. Barr. Bashir Abubakar Masama  representing Bukkuyum North said the monthly N800 million which have now been removed to personal accounts for the period of 23 months, if judiciously utilised, would have saved the state capital, Gusau from its current perennial water shortage which have forced residents to buy a 25 litre jerry can at between N300 and N500.

The Speaker,  Bashir Aliyu Gummi, then referred the matter to the House Adhoc Committee for investigation with the report to be forwarded to EFCC and ICPC for further investigation and prosecution. 

The House then adjourned, sitting to its next legislative day.
