Banditry: Kebbi gov vows to sign death warrant of informants

Governor Nasir Idris of Kebbi State says he will sign the death warrant of anyone convicted of volunteering information to bandits in the state.

Idris gave the warning on Saturday during a visit to the inhabitants of Tudun Bichi in Wasagu Chiefdom of Danko-Wasagu Local Government Area.

The visit was to condole with them on the recurring attacks by bandits.

The governor, who was furious about the ‘devilish act’ of informants, made it clear that he would append his signature to the death warrant of convicted informants.

“The activities of informants defy all norms and religious doctrines. Just for  pittance, some miscreants will provide valuable information to bandits to perpetrate mayhem against their own people.

“I will never condone or be lenient with such unscrupulous persons.

“Let it be known to the informants that whoever is convicted for volunteering information to bandits leading to the killing of innocent souls, I will sign his death warrant instantly,” he warned. NAN
