The governor of Kebbi state, Nasir Idris, has pledged to sign the death warrant of any informant who is convicted of volunteering information to bandits in the state.
Governor Idris made the vow during a condolence visit to the residents of Tudun Bichi in Wasagu chiefdom of Danko-Wasagu local government area to condole with them on the recurring attacks by bandits.
“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
The governor also gave assurances that his administration would continue to provide the necessary support to the security agencies with emphasis on logistics, welfare of troops and other material requirements for combat readiness and operational successes. He accepted the request for immediate rehabilitation of the three-kilometre road linking the village with Wasagu that has become impassable due to bridge collapse.
