Governor Umar Ganduje’s Special Adviser on Media, Salihu Tanko Yakasai, has stated that the Arewa community should be blamed for the level of insecurity in the North.
The Northern region, in recent days, have been ravaged with kidnappings and killings and the most recent of them is the beheading of 43 farmers by by Boko Haram terrorists in Zabarmari, Borno State.
Condemning the incident, Dawisu said there is no cooperation from some Northerners adding that they refuse to speak up against killings and kidnappings in the region.
On his Twitter page, he wrote: “Inna Lillahi Wa Inna Ilaihirrajiun! 43 innocent souls lost for no reason, 43 families thrown into more darkness, 43 less farmers that will feed the nation, 43 new victims that have died in vain. 43 blood in the hands of those that are supposed to protect them.
“I blame Arewa for tolerating this level of insecurity. By the time each and every household, in each and every state is engulfed in it, perhaps then we will wake up and defend ourselves against this barbaric attacks & kidnappings. Clearly, no end in sight. #ZabarmariMassacre.
“To even speak with one voice on the insecurity in the North is a challenge. We are not ready yet. #SecureNorth.”
More than 43 persons are alleged to have been killed by the terrorists, according to the account of the residents.
“Your Excellency, as you have seen here, 43 corpses were buried, but others have not been retrieved from the scene of the incident. Nobody can tell you the exact number of people killed. Some of the victims are still missing”, said a prominent resident (name withheld), while addressing the State Governor, Babagana Zulum.
