Zamfara ADC guber candidate condemns Kaura Namoda attack, calls for stronger security
From Zamfara State, Nigerians have a new beginning. It is an example of what ought to become the new template in managing the security challenge that has defied the federal government of Nigeria. As reports had it, the Tudun Biri community in Gumi Local Government Area suffered a bandit attack recently. Rather than abandon their homes and take flight, the residents stood their ground and fought back in self-defence. In the outcome, not less than 30 bandits ended their earthly sojourn. That was a great feat. It has emboldened the community to organise better and be more prepared to stand firm before criminal outlaws in the face of the failure of the federal government to discharge its primary responsibility to the people despite repeated efforts by the state governor, Dauda Lawal, to engage with service chiefs and also support the deployment of more federal troops to the state with logistics.
