Senator Marafa to Yari: Shut up! You know Zamfara killers

The senator representing Zamfara Central District in the National Assembly, Kabiru Marafa, has taken Governor Abdulaziz Yari of Zamfara State to the cleaners.
To the Senator, Yari and some government officials know killers on the rampage in the North-West state.
He urged the governor to stop playing politics with the lives of the people.
“Governor Yari pays more attention to being chairman of Nigeria Governors’ Forum than protecting lives of his people”.
He accused Yari of laxity in managing the security crisis in the state, urging him to seek for President Muhammadu Buhari’s help if he cannot handle security situation in his state.
Marafa alleged that the gunmen who killed at least 41 people in Zamfara were known to Yari and officials of the state government.
“Why are people not talking? Why is the House of Assembly not addressing this issue? Definitely, some people have to be brought to book. Yari was voted to be the governor, not the Chairman of the NGF.
“If he is not in charge , he should summon the courage to come out and say ‘this issue is beyond me, Mr. President I want your help.’ I have been complaining but the state government always wants to sweep this thing under the carpet. I said (at the Senate ) that there was a problem and I said Zamfara was under a siege and that the state government had banned all vigilante groups but people who are not security agents now walk about with arms.
“The governor keeps saying that he is spending money. Spending money on what and why? What you see that just happened is not only in that community. Within the last three days, various communities were attacked in Zamfara. It is just that this one is bigger than others. There are killings and kidnappings going on in Zamfara on a daily basis and nothing is being done.
“Instead of him to sit down and face his problem, he is always in Abuja doing one thing or the other in the name of being the Chairman of the NGF”.
