Ahmad Sani Yerima, a former governor of Zamfara State, said that those who engage in banditry do so out of a combination of illiteracy and poverty.
This follows his prior remarks urging the Federal Government to negotiate with bandits in an effort to end the kidnappings, murders, and incursions that plague some areas of the North.
Speaking on Friday’s episode of Politics Today on Channels Television, Senator Yerima claimed that a good education would have prevented them from carrying out the evil deed in the first place.
