BANDITRY: KEBBI GOV, IDRIS VOWS TO SIGN DEATH WARRANT AGAINST INFORMANTS
Governor Nasir Idris of Kebbi State says he will sign a death warrant on any informant who is caught volunteering information to bandits in the state.
Idris gave the stern warning on Saturday during a sympathy visit to the inhabitants of Tudun Bichi in Wasagu Chiefdom of Danko-Wasagu Local Government Area to condole with them on the recurring attacks by bandits.
The governor, who was furious about the devilish acts of informants, threatened to approve the death warrant of any convicted informants.
āThe activities of informants defied all norms and religious doctrines. Just for a pittance, some miscreants will provide valuable information to bandits to perpetrate mayhem against their own people.
āI will never condone or be lenient with such unscrupulous persons.
āLet it be known to the informants that whoever is convicted for volunteering information to bandits leading to the killing of innocent souls, I will sign his death warrant instantaneously,ā he warned.
Idris gave an assurance that his administration would continue to provide the necessary support to the security agencies with emphasis on logistics, welfare of troops and other material requirements for combat readiness and operational successes.
He accepted the request for immediate rehabilitation of the three-kilometre road linking the village with Wasagu that has become impassable due to bridge collapse.
