Africa-Press – Nigeria. <\/strong><\/span>The Zamfara State Government has suspended the Commandant of the local security outfit, Community Protection Guards, CPG, Colonel Rabiu Garba (retd).<\/p>\n

This is contained in a statement issued by the Secretary to the State Government, SSG, Mallam Abubakar Nakwadahe and made available to newsmen in Gusau, the State capital.<\/p>\n

The statement said in part, \u201cThis is to inform the general public that, Zamfara State government has suspended Colonel Rabiu Garba as Commandant of the state Community Protection Guards\u201d.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe suspension takes immediate effect\u201d.<\/p>\n

No reason for his suspension was given but it was gathered that the suspension may not be unconnected with the radio live program he granted where he accused the state government of poor funding of the Community Protection Guards.<\/p>\n

In a radio live program at the Vision FM radio Gusau, Colonel Garba said the state government has failed to give financial support to the Protection Guards.<\/p>\n

He lamented that since their inauguration, the state government has not provided them with any takeoff grant.<\/p>\n

Garba also said the officials of the protection guards were paid their salary only once since they were appointed four months ago.<\/p>\n

He said members of the Community Protection Guards have been suffering from poor funding from the state government, a situation which he said has been crippling their activities in the fight against banditry.<\/p>\n
