Former Attorney General and Minister of Justice, Abubakar Malami, has cautioned against the politicisation of security issues, expressing grave concern over the recent attacks in the Zuru community in Kebbi State, which he stated resulted in the loss of more than 200 lives.

Speaking in a short video released in Birnin Kebbi, Malami expressed deep concern over federal government’s failure to prevent wanton destruction of lives and property in the state, arguing that the federal government is not doing enough to curtail current wave of insecurity in Argungu and Zuru Emirates of Kebbi State.

Malami called for proactive measures from all security operatives in the country to curtail insecurity in the country, pointing out that a safe local government will go a long way to promote safety within the state.

“I wonder how the federal government is not doing enough to protect the lives and properties of citizens, let alone the state and local governments
“Lives are being lost, the rights of the people are being violated, and their wealth is being destroyed.” Malami Said.

Malami also highlighted ongoing threats in different regions as Lakurawa continue to hold communities in the Argungu Emirate to ransom, while bandits destabilise the people of Kyebu and Tadurga in the Zuru Emirate
