Kebbi State Governor, Comrade Dr. Nasir Idris, Kauran Gwandu, has vowed to sign the death warrant of any convicted informant aiding bandits within 24 hours of sentencing.
The Governor made the declaration on Saturday during a condolence visit to Zogirma village in Bunza Local Government Area, following a recent armed robbery attack that claimed the lives of three policemen.
Dr.Idris decried the activities of informants, describing them as "bad eggs" sabotaging national security for meager gains. He stated emphatically:
“I will not hesitate to sign the death warrant of any convicted informant within 24 hours. I am not in support of life imprisonment for such individuals.
'They should face capital punishment because they don’t deserve to live among us.”
The Governor condemned the killing of the brave policemen who were on duty to protect law-abiding citizens, and reaffirmed his administration’s commitment to fast-tracking a law that prescribes the death penalty for informants.
While praying for the repose of the souls of the fallen officers, Dr. Idris assured residents of improved security measures, including the deployment of more security personnel to the affected area and other parts of the state.
“This is a government of the people. We will do everything humanly possible to ensure our citizens sleep with their two eyes closed,” he said.
“Security remains our top priority, and we will not treat it with levity.”
Chairman of Bunza Local Government Area, Hon. Zayyanu Shehu, commended the Governor’s unwavering support for the people, particularly the swift donation of N50 million and assorted food items to victims of recent bandit attacks.
He assured that only genuine victims would benefit from the Governor’s intervention.
Also speaking, the District Head of Zogirma, Alhaji Tijjani Muhammad (Sarkin Yakin Zogirma), lauded Governor Idris for prioritizing the safety and welfare of the people. He appealed for the deployment of additional security personnel to the area to enhance protection of lives and property.
