Gunmen have reportedly invaded Gobir community in Sokoto State and kidnapped over 150 people.
The kidnapp incident happend few days after the death of the Emir of Gobir, Isa Muhammad Bawa who was murdered by bandits.
A University Prof Bello Bada disclosed this in an interview with journalists on Sunday.
Bada alleged that the scary activities of bandits in the area was due to certain lapses from many quarters.
He said it was such lapses that made the bandits had the effrontery to even threatened to Kidnap Former President Buhari when he was in power.
According to him, “This is not the first time a prominent monarch was attacked, but this is the first time a prominent monarch was murdered.”
Bada who said the murder of the Emir of Gobir was a humiliation to all Nigerians, added that now is the time for Nigerians to have a rethink on the nefarious acts of these bandits who have continued to kill people intermittently.
“The bandits had made a similar attempt on the life of the Emir of Potiskum while he was on the way to Zaria but he narrowly escaped. The Emir of Kauran Namoda escaped death by whiskers, but members of his entourage were killed by the bandits.
The University Don said such acts should not be left unchecked and allowed to become a recurring decimal, alleging that ” where these bandits are coming from is well known but the appropriate action against them is not well taken.
