Bandits now feed our babies to their dogs — Zamfara lawmaker cries out

A member of the House of Representatives from Zamfara State, Rep Aminu Jaji has decried the worsening security situation in his constituency, painting a harrowing picture of bandit attacks, mass kidnappings, and general lawlessness that have left communities devastated and residents displaced.

Briefing journalists at the National Assembly, the lawmaker, who previously chaired the House Committee on National Security and Intelligence, said over 200 attacks have been recorded in communities across Kaura Namoda Local Government Area alone, including Dayo, Banga, Gabaki, Korea, and Madura.

“Just two days ago, 60 people were abducted in Banga. The kidnappers demanded a ransom of 30 million naira. Out of those abducted, 10 were killed, and the fate of the remaining 50 hangs in the balance,” he said.

Isheu Ibrahim Jadda, a vocal critic of Nigeria’s former Senate President, Ahmad Lawan, was arrested in Gashua, Yobe State, on Friday and detained overnight before being transferred to the Criminal Investigation Department (CID) in Damaturu on Saturday morning. His arrest is allegedly linked to his comments regarding a controversial ₦5,730,000,000 (five billion, seven hundred thirty million Naira) water project in Gashua.

The Federal Executive Council had approved ₦3,510,000,000 (three billion, five hundred ten million Naira) for two water projects in Gashua, aimed at extending water supply services and upgrading existing water works. These projects were deemed urgently needed due to a surge in kidney-related diseases among the local population.

However, investigations have revealed that despite full payments to contractors, many of these water projects remain incomplete or non-functional, leaving residents without access to potable water. For instance, a ₦492,000,000 (four hundred ninety-two million Naira) water supply project in Gashua was found abandoned, with the site overtaken by weeds and no evidence of ongoing work.

Further investigations uncovered that over ₦350,000,000 (three hundred fifty million Naira) allocated for constructing solar-powered and hand pump boreholes in Yobe North Senatorial District were mismanaged. Contracts were awarded to companies that failed to execute the projects, denying communities access to clean water.

The arrest of Jadda has raised concerns about the suppression of dissent and the lack of accountability in public project execution. Residents and activists are calling for transparency and proper utilization of funds to address the pressing water needs in the region.
