However, some youths in Niger State have accused the state governor of not showing enough concern for the affected communities. They took to social media platforms to lament what they called the failure of the state government to address incessant killings. The youths described Governor Abubakar Sani Bello as a ‘Ghost Governor’. Some of them compared the governor with his counterparts in Kaduna, Borno and Zamfara and scored him low. The post that generated critical reactions was on the “Nigerlites speak out” Facebook wall by one Farida Bosso and it reads in part: “Bandits are killing people in Niger State communities. In Kaduna State, we saw El-Rufai present in every scene in his state; same with Mutawalle of Zamfara. But in Niger State, we have a ghost.” Media reports indicate that the governor did not visit to condole and sympathise with those affected by the attacks.

Some of President Muhammadu Buhari’s men have been going about mocking Transparency International’s 2020 Corruption Perception Index (CPI). It is shocking to see these presidential aides attacking TI and blaming hapless Nigerians for our country’s poor rating. The President has also maintained a treacherous silence on this report which placed Nigeria as the second most corrupt country in West Africa, with Guinea Bissau in the first position. According to TI, CPI worsened under the Buhari government. The 2020 Index gave Nigeria 25 from 100 obtainable points, thus ranking this country 149 out of the 180 assessed.
Transparency drew its conclusion from 13 data sources that captured the assessment of experts and business executives on a number of corrupt behaviours in Nigeria’s public sector including bribery, diversion of public funds, use of public office for private gain and nepotism in the civil service.

The Northern Elders Forum, NEF, yesterday, urged President Muhammadu Buhari and governors of the 36 states of the federation to explore all available channels to protect the Fulani communities in the South.
The call came, apparently, against the backdrop of the order given by Ondo State Governor, Oluwarotimi Akeredolu to herdsmen to vacate the state’s forest reserves and ultimatum given the herders by Yoruba ‘’freedom fighter’’, Sunday Adeyemo, aka Igboho, to vacate Ibarapa community in Oyo State.
This came on a day Benue State Deputy Governor, Benson Abounu, advised Ondo, Oyo and other states experiencing herdsmen crisis in the country to consider the enactment of anti-open grazing laws as was done in Benue State to stave off incessant farmers/herders’ clashes.

The senator representing Niger east senatorial zone in the National Assembly, Senator Mohammed Sani Musa, has again cried out to the federal government to find an immediate and lasting solution to the cases of banditry and kidnapping in his senatorial zone.
Musa said in a statement made available to newsmen in Minna on Wednesday evening that his people are under threat of extermination by bandits which only the federal government can stop.
In an attack on Tuesday, 21 villagers in four communities Kurebe, Sabon-gida, Sarari and Rafin Kanya were cut down in cold blood by bandits, while 20 others were injured and about 40 kidnapped in the attack.
