Kaduna State Governor, Nasir El-Rufai has said that the
report of a preliminary investigation linked some serving police and military
officers to bandits terrorizing parts of the State.
El-Rufai, who spoke yesterday during the weekly briefing
organised by the Presidential Communication Media Team at the Presidential
Villa, Abuja, said the investigation revealed that the security officers have
some form of communication with the assailants.
He, however, declared that the government is yet to have a
clear evidence to back the report of the investigation, stressing that a lot of
works still needed to be done.
He said, “we’re concerned and it’s not impossible to have
infiltrators. As I alluded to when I was answering this question, the
preliminary report of (investigation into) Boko Haram financing also showed
some links to bandits and pointed to some police and military officers in
service as having some communication or connection with the bandits.
“So, there’s always that risks, in any system you have
traitors and we are concerned about that. But till date, we don’t have any firm
evidence of that. I think a lot more work needs to be done”.
According to the Governor, there is the urgent need to stop
the financing and logistics chain of the bloodthirsty bandits, stressing that
the amount of money the bandits are making from ransom is enough to destabilize
Nigeria.
