Africa-Press – Nigeria. <\/strong><\/span>Shehu Sani, a former Kaduna Central Senator, on Tuesday, said bandits have become the fourth tier of government in Nigeria.<\/p>\n

Sani noted the series of attacks by bandits show that Nigerians need no additional proof that bandits have become the fourth tier of government.<\/p>\n

The socio-political activist was reacting to a comment by Governor Abubakar Sani Bello of Niger State that bandits occupied 12 of the 25 Local Government Areas in the state.<\/p>\n

Bello had disclosed this during his recent visit to the Internally Displaced Persons (IDPs) at the Central Primary School, Gwada.<\/p>\n

Reacting, Sani noted that Niger State is a neighbour to the Federal Capital Territory, FCT, yet bandits are occupying its local governments.<\/p>\n

In a tweet, the former lawmaker wrote: \u201cThe Governor of Niger revealed that terrorists occupy 12 of the 25 Local Governments in the state.<\/p>\n

\u201cNiger is a state that neighbours the Federal Capital. What additional proof is needed that bandits have become the fourth tier of Government?\u201d<\/p>\n
