A Nigerian civil society organisation, the Concerned Citizens of Nigeria (CCN), has petitioned the governments of the United States and the United Kingdom to impose sanctions and a travel ban on Zamfara State Governor, Dauda Lawal, over what it described as his failure to tackle insecurity in the state. “If he has an iota of shame in him and he is truly powerless as he claims, then honour should have compelled him to resign,” Dr Agabi wrote. It would suggest that America, the land of liberty, can overlook confessions of collusion with murderers,” the petition stated. The CSO further accused Lawal of publicly admitting knowledge of terrorist hideouts and leaders without taking action. “His confession is a crime against humanity,” Dr Agabi declared, stressing that the widows and orphans of Zamfara deserved justice.
