ACF To Matawalle: Reveal Identities Of Those Behind Kidnappings
Information reaching IBOM FOCUS is that, The pan-Northern socio-political organisation, Arewa Consultative Forum, has asked the Governor of Zamfara State, Bello Matawalle, to name those behind the kidnap of the 317 students of Government Girls Secondary School, Jangebe in Talata Mafara in Zamfara State.
The governor had reportedly said that he knew the identity of the kidnappers and if revealed, Nigerians would be shocked.
Matawalle had stated this when emirs in the state paid him a solidarity visit on the kidnap of the students.
But the ACF said security operatives should treat the governor as an accomplice to the kidnappers, failure of him to tell Nigerians those behind the dastardly acts.
According to the ACF, the north is embarrassed by the statement of the governor and the sundry kidnapping as well as insecurity ravaging the region.
The National Chairman of the ACF, Chief Audu Ogbeh, who signed the statement and released it to newsmen by the National Publicity Secretary of the organisation, Emmanuel Yawe, in Kaduna State on Tuesday, warned against such unguarded statement by those in authorities.
The statement read, “The Arewa Consultative Forum ACF is stunned by a statement accredited to the Zamfara Governor, Bello Matawalle.
“The governor is reported in the media to have told 17 Emirs who paid a sympathy visit to him on the kidnap of 317 school girls from Government Girls Secondary School Jangebe in Talata Mafara that he knew the identity of the kidnappers & if he revealed their identity, Nigerians will be shocked.
