Bello Hassan Shinkafi

Bello Hassan Shinkafi is a Nigerian politician from Zamfara State. He is a serving member of the Federal House of Representatives, representing Shinkafi/Zurmi Federal Constituency since 2019 under the platform of the All Progressives Congress (APC). Quotes A few days ago, in a village called Kanwa, the bandits invaded the community in broad daylight, killed three persons and kidnapped so many others. A similar attack took place In a nearby village called Nasarawa where they abducted so many people. Over 500 persons are currently in the custody of the bandits, and only God knows the trauma and horrible experiences they are passing through there. However, the State Governor, Dauda Lawal, is working day and night with security officials to secure the release of these captives, and also fix the security issues in the state. Just a few days ago, over 100 people were rescued and reunited with their families as a result of the efforts of the governor. But to achieve more, we need more security personnel with more equipment that would improve their prompt responses. The security officials also need adequate care and moral support. There are security officials in the communities, but I can tell you that they are not enough to confront these armed criminals. But we have another challenge which is the fact that many of the soldiers serving there have overstayed in the communities. Many of them have spent 8 to 10 years in the community. Some kind of complacency has set in. So, they need to be changed as quickly as possible and replaced with new ones. We have reported this to the relevant authorities, and I am sure that action is being taken on that. External links Category:Politicians from Nigeria Category:Living people
