Banditry Victims’ Families Urge Tinubu to Probe Alleged Links of Ex-Governors Yerima and Bafarawa to Northwest Insecurity
Families affected by years of deadly banditry in Northwest Nigeria have petitioned President Bola Tinubu, seeking an investigation into allegations that former governors Ahmed Sani Yerima (Zamfara) and Attahiru Bafarawa (Sokoto) contributed to the region’s insecurity. The Coalition of Families Affected by Banditry highlighted the loss of lives, homes, and livelihoods from sustained attacks across Zamfara, Sokoto, and neighbouring states. The petition was prompted by claims from notorious bandit leader Bello Turji, who alleged that policies under the former governors, including the seizure of grazing reserves and arming of vigilante groups, fueled ethnic tensions and cycles of reprisal violence. The coalition urged an impartial probe, with potential international oversight, to ensure accountability and break the cycle of violence.
