The Coalition of Citizens Against Banditry and Insecurity in Nigeria (CABIN) has issued a seven-day ultimatum to Zamfara State governor, DaudaLawal, urging him to take decisive action in addressing insecurity across the state.
In a statement yesterday signed by its president, Comrade Solomon Charles Abutu, the group said Governor Lawal’s recent remarks acknowledging awareness of the presence of criminal groups in Zamfara require immediate collaboration with security agencies to restore peace and stability.
CABIN noted that failure to act within the stipulated period would lead to mass protests and a call on the Federal Government to declare a state of emergency in Zamfara.
The organisation, which describes itself as a national coalition of civic advocates, security analysts, and community leaders, stressed that Zamfara has become one of the epicentres of Nigeria’s banditry crisis, with repeated cases of abductions and attacks on communities.
It further urged President Bola Tinubu to closely monitor developments in Zamfara, ensure adequate federal support, and hold state leadership accountable in the collective effort to strengthen national security.
The group vowed to mobilise residents, civil society organisations, and student unions for peaceful demonstrations in Gusau and Abuja should the ultimatum expire without concrete action.
