Former Zamfara Dep. Gov. Anka commends President Tinubu’s fight against banditry, cautions Gov. Dauda against distracting efforts of Minister of State for Defence Matawalle
A former Deputy Governor of Zamfara State, Alhaji Muktar Ahmad Anka has today joined numerous supporters of the federal government in the current offensive against armed bandits in the north western states of the country.
This was contained in a press statement personally signed by Anka who served as Deputy Governor in Zamfara between 2007 and 2011, and made available to journalists.
While commending President Bola Ahmed Tinubu’s decision in directing the Minister of State for Defence, Dr. Bello Mohammed Matawalle to take the fight to the bandits camps throughout the area, the leader also cautioned Dauda Lawal, the present state governor against his meddlesomeness in the operations.
He noted that this is strictly a matter concerning national security and effectively being handled by the military in the region.
He said “let’s support not fight Matawalle succeed in coordinating the current onslaught against bandits in N/W
“The need for Zamfara people to stay focused in the current fight against armed bandits cannot be overemphasized because just as the federal government is doing its best to bring lasting peace to our state and region, as a people, we also need to come out in praising the federal government through the state government on account of the aggression meted against the bandits.
“This is not time for political fights but an opportunity to bring us as leaders to answer the calls of our people in partnering the federal government to ensure that bandits are completely eliminated from our state and our region.”
He described it as a good thing and a sign of success that the immediate past governor, Matawalle is now a Minister in the nation’s Ministry of Defence and is incidentally the one handling the operation, urging citizens to give their complete support for him to effectively earn the federal government’s confidence and make Zamfara people proud their ambassador in the federal executive council.
He further stated that the Tinubu administration would be doing its best for rekindling hope and confidence in the people if these criminals are eradicated where people can move freely, go to farm, produce enough food to give food security and create the needed conducive atmosphere for growth and development.

Ajiran Youth Protest Over Deaths of Two Residents, Demand Justice
Ajiran Youth Protest Over Deaths of Two Residents, Demand Justice
The Ajiran community of Lagos State erupted in a powerful protest on Tuesday as local youths took to the streets to express their grief and anger over the tragic murders of Prince Ademola Akintoye and Sherrif Agboworin. The demonstration follows the recent decision to reopen the murder case, an investigation that has already led to the arrest of over nine suspects in connection with the heinous crimes committed more than a year ago.
Carrying vibrant banners and poignant posters featuring the faces of the deceased, the protesters marched through the heart of their community while singing somber dirges to honor their memory. With chants of unity and justice ringing in the air, they called on both the Lagos State Government and the Lagos State Police Command to ensure that those responsible are swiftly and decisively brought to justice.
The youth leaders emphasized that peace and normalcy will remain elusive in Ajiran until all those complicit in the killings are held accountable. They articulated that true justice is the only way to restore tranquility and honor the lives of Akintoye and Agboworin, whom they described as innocent victims of a grave injustice.
Speaking on behalf of the demonstrators, youth leader Mr. Kehinde Oladele urged law enforcement to conduct a thorough and fair investigation. He asserted that every individual involved including the nine arrested suspects must face the full extent of the law. Especially Hammed Tajudeen, the principal suspect mentioned by others in custody, whom they believe should not escape scrutiny.
“The reopening of this case after more than a year is a critical first step towards achieving justice and fairness for our brothers,” Oladele said. “We urge the police to get to the root of the matter. Those mentioned during the investigation, especially Hammed Tajudeen, should not be spared.”
The atmosphere in the community grew increasingly tense last week following speculation that prominent businessman Aare Bashir Olawale Fakorede was implicated in the unrest. The speculation appeared to stem from his alleged influence on the reopening of the murder investigation. This misunderstanding escalated when a group of protesters targeted his filling station in Ikate, vandalizing his properties and disrupting business operations in the gas station based on the false assumption that Fakorede was behind the police’s renewed inquiries.
In response to the rising tensions and misinformation, Fakorede’s spokesperson, Ola Muhammed, issued a comprehensive statement denying any connection between Fakorede and the unrest. The spokesperson emphasized that rumors suggesting the businessman orchestrated the revival of the murder case were completely unfounded.
“I feel it is crucial to clarify, for the sake of transparency and historical accuracy, that this entire ordeal is in no way related to me,” Fakorede stated. “I am also very interested to see that the culprits are brought to book. I categorically affirm that I have never been involved in any business dealings with Mr. Hammed Tajudeen.”
Fakorede further elaborated that the recent protests which led to the destruction of his property were reportedly instigated by Tajudeen and others who seem determined to manipulate the narrative and cast suspicion upon him. Fakorede expressed his own strong commitment to uncovering the truth surrounding the deaths.
As the police investigation progresses, it has become increasingly apparent that all accusing fingers are pointing to Hammed Tajudeen who is currently evading capture, adding another layer of complexity and urgency to the ongoing situation. Community members have questioned why he remains at large instead of submitting himself to the police for questioning if he is truly innocent of the allegations against him.
Community leaders are now emphasizing the need for dialogue to address the root causes of the unrest and work toward restoring harmony within Ajiran, even as the demand for justice remains at the forefront of public consciousness.
